My bet is that
range("a1").select
works fine in a General module, but you're having trouble when the code is in a
worksheet module.
When you type:
range("a1").select
Then this unqualified range will refer to the activesheet in a General module,
but it'll refer to the sheet that owns the code when it's in the worksheet
module.
And I'm betting you do something like this (behind sheet1):
worksheets("Sheet2").select
range("a1").select
Since that second line is still refering to sheet1 and since you can't select a
range on a sheet that is not active, then you get the error.
You could do:
with worksheets("sheet2")
.select
.range("a1").select
end with
But if you're changing a value (say), you could just work on it directly:
worksheets("sheet2").range("a1").value = "hi There!"
Then you don't need to select the sheet or the range.

My VBA sometimes works fine with
range("A1").select
Bt sometimes, it shows an error unless I include a "activesheet" in front as
below :
activesheet.range("A1").select
Anyone please help me know why the additional "word" is needed ?
