When I put this in it comes up in red - syntax error, but I have checked
carefully and retyped it twice - any idea what could be wrong - sheets are
indeed named sheet1 sheet2 and sheet3. Is that a reserved word [sheets]? I
am running mso2000 excel premium vers 9.0.2720

Tim,

If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")<0 then
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D1")=Sheets("Sheet1").Rang e("A1")
End If

This should work regardless of which sheet you are on.

regards,
Don
