Add following code before the line: Worksheets("Ratios").Select (to select the sheet before you select the range in the sheet)
New code should look like: Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() Worksheets("Ratios").Select Worksheets("Ratios").Range(Cells(3, 25), Cells(3, 26)).Select End Sub Regards, Alokeshwar 09891442001 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ "There are known knowns.
