Not illegal, but -- You didn't qualify Sheets or either instance of Cells in your problem line of code.
That line, as written, requires two things to be true to work correctly: 1. The active workbook is the workbook that hold the named sheet. You could avoice that with ThisWorkbook.Sheets() -- btw this applies to you first line with the With block too. 2. The ActiveSheet is the same as the named sheet. Avoid this by qualifying the two instances of cells, e.g. ThisWorkbook.Sheets(RawData).Cells(2, BarOpen), ThisWorkbook.Sheets(RawData).Cells(stoprawdata, EContango). You might want to use a With Block and/or sheet/range variables to qualify those references in a less redundant (and more efficient) line of code.

But then... application defined or object defined error This has already successfully executed With Sheets(RawData) Set tmprange = .Range(.Cells(2, BarOpen), .Cells(stoprawdata, StopCol)) end with but then it tries to set a new value for tmprange that fails. Is that illegal or do you have to clear or release it in some way first or...? This fails with the error mentioned above. All the variables inside the line have correct values. Set tmprange = Sheets(RawData).Range(Cells(2, BarOpen), Cells(stoprawdata, EContango)) all it is doing is setting tmprange to point to a range with one more column than it had before. -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
