trouble with variable in Range.select - vba

Question

Can anyone give me a clue as to why I can't seem to get a variable to function in my Range.select?
As you can see from the commented statements I have tried a number of different syntax's and commands but I always get a run-time error 1004, method Range of object global failed
I am trying to take data from sheet one in a specific section and copy it to specific cells in the current row (by loop count) in sheet two. Ignore the unfinished loop, haven't been able to get it to run through once so i haven't completed writing the loop yet.
Sub PutDataSht2()
Dim rowVal As Integer
rowVal = 1
'
' PutDataSht2
'
'
'ThisWorkbook.Activate
'Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A38:H38").Select
Selection.Copy
'Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'Range("A1:H1").Select
Range("A[XrowVal]:H[XrowVal]").Select
'Range("A & rowVal:H & rowVal").Select
'Application.Goto ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A & rowVal:H & rowVal")
'ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, rowVal), Cells(8, rowVal)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
'Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("B85:H85").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
'Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'Range("J1:P1").Select
Range("J & rowVal:P & rowVal").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
'Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("B132:D132").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
'Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'Range("R1:T1").Select
Range("R & rowVal:T & rowVal").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
rowVal = (rowVal + 1)
End Sub

One of your options is almost correct!
Range("A & rowVal:H & rowVal").Select
should be:
Range("A" & rowVal & ":H" & rowVal).Select
