I SUSPECT it's because you're essentially defining MyRange as
ActiveSheet.Selection
so trying to use ActiveSheet.MyRange expands to
Activesheet.Activesheet.Selection
which would be incorrect...
but then again, I may be incorrect.
I'd have to put a "watch" on MyRange and see if it changes when I switch to a
different worksheet.
