I know. I caught it as just after I touched the send button. Thanks

Don,

You forgot the same thing that I did: the key needs to be

Sheets("Test").Range("F2")

if Test is not the activesheet.

try from ANYWHERE.
Sheets("TEST").Range("A1:F129").Sort Key1:=Range("F2"), _
Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

Hi Bernie,

Here is a simple example:

Sheets("TEST").Select
Range("A1:F129").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("F2"), _
Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

Todd,

You rarely ever need to select anything: post all your
code, and we can give
you some pointers as to how to re-write without using
select.

I have the following code to select a range:

Sheets("TEST").Select
Range("A1:F129").Select

Is there a way to select this range WITHOUT first
selecting the sheet? I'd like to speed up my macro and
thought this would be a good place to start.

I tried:

Sheets("TEST").Range("A1:F129")

and I get an error.

TIA, Todd
