Hi friends, I am using XL2003.
I am having trouble using a named range in a macro, even after refering the Help. The named range lives in the active workbook. My code is this: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() With [CompNames] Set c = .Find(Range("A1")) If Not c Is Nothing Then A = Sheets("Names").Cells(c.Row, 3) End With If ActiveSheet.Name <> A Then ActiveSheet.Name = A End Sub You will see that I have had to resort to using [ ] around the named range, which is the only way I could get the code to run. I tried With Range("CompNames") which is what the Help seemed to indicate, and tried including the sheet name and the workbook name, but none of those worked. I have checked the spelling of the named range, even copied and pasted it straight from the name box. When I use With Range("CompNames") it returns the following error: Runtime error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed Anyone had a problem with this before? Regards - Dave. _________________________________________________________________ Use Messenger in your Hotmail inbox Find out how http://windowslive.ninemsn.com.au/hotmail/article/823454/web-im-for-hotmail-is-here -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
