Hi Bob,

it worked!

I guess because the RefersTo gives a string, and the Range of a
string-address has a property column in XP?

It's the "vCol = Range(vAddress).Column" that gave an error in Office 2000,
but the on error resume next set up a trap for me, I thougt it worked.

Hi Bob,

small correction

sParameters.Range(vName).Column

where sParameters is a pointer to a sheet. With workbooks, it does not
work!

Workbooks(sParameters.Parent.Name).Range(vName).Co lumn

Hi,

this works in office XP

vAddress =
Workbooks(sParameters.Parent.Name).Names(vName).Re fersTo
vCol = Range(vAddress).Column

but not in office 2000. There must be an incompatibility, I guess.

How can I know the column-number of a named range in Office 2000?

Thanks
