Default Clear contents of worksheet before populating

If you are running it from the click event of a commandbutton, change the
takefocusonclick property of the commandbutton to false.

Chip and Tom, I really appreciate all of your patience
with this but I have yet another problem with the code. I
typed it in EXACTLY as posted and when it runs I get a run
time error of 1004 - Unable to get the Special Cells
property of the Range Class.

Do either of you know what this means? I'm running Excel97
on a Win2K machine if that helps.

Thanks

Tom,

Most likely it is a problem with the line wrapping in the

post.
Try the following:

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Range(.Range("A2"), .UsedRange. _
SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)).ClearContents
End With

Hi Chip, I typed it in exactly as you have suggested,

but
it had a few problems so I took out the comma after the

A2
and the first period before UsedRange. Now it has Run

Time
error 438, Object does not support this property or

method.

Any ideas?

Tom

Tom,

Try something like the following:

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Range(.Range("A2"),
..UsedRange.SpecialCells
(xlCellTypeLastCell)).ClearContents
End With

This may be a coincidence but a coworker just asked

me
almost the same question. Can I clear all cells in a
worksheet EXCEPT for a specific row such as a header
row?

Sheets("Sheet3").Cells.ClearContents

Instead of Activesheet use a sheet name.
The sheet don't have to be active Tom

Hi Chip, In the VB application I'm accessing four
separate
worksheets at different times and writing to two
others
at
different times. I want to clear one certain
worksheet
at
the beginning of the code. Is there a way to
statically
tell the VB code which worksheet to clear?

Thanks

Tom,

Try

ActiveSheet.Cells.Clear
' or
ActiveSheet.Cells.Clear

Hi everyone, I need a piece of code that will
allow
me
to
clear the contents of an entire worksheet so I

can
repopulate it with fresh information.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
