Hi XL'ers I am using XL2003
This is a follow-on from a previous post. I refer to the use of the following (meaningless) Worksheet Window macro: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() With Range("CompNames") End With End Sub If the named range (CompNames) is on the sheet being actived, the code runs ok. If the named range is not on the sheet being activated, I get the following error: Runtime error '1004' Application-defined or object-defined error If the 2 code lines are put into normal macro in a module, the error does not occur. I have discovered that I can get around this by using: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() With [CompNames] End With End Sub But I can't find any reference to this style of notation in the Help. Someone in this group mentioned it, and I tried it out of desperation. Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone else confirm that this is so? It's been driving me nuts. 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.
