Thanks. Believe me I am a firm believer in KISS. I did not realize
the . made that distinction though.
Also like getting rid of worksheetfunction. I went the other way and
tried to get rid of application and that failed. I thought it was the
redundant one not worksheetfunction.
So for cross referencing can I create a reference
Set pointer = sheets(chartvalue) then use pointer.cells(row,col) for
access since what I will be doing is reading cell values from one
sheet, performing functions on the values then setting cell values in
the other sheet. Or is there more to it than that?
