I actually had it dimenionsioned as an Object. I then changed it to a
Range.
It stopped failing. However, when I hold my cursor over the variable
CorrectCompanyName in the statement:

CorrectCompanyName = PMSMatchRange.Offset(MatchNumber - 1, 1)

It says "Empty". What is even more bizzare is that even though its says
"Empty", the next line of code works fine:

ImportSheetVbNm.Range("C2").Offset(X - 1, 0) = CorrectCompanyName

That is the value in C2 (with offset) takes on the correct value. Odd.

Unless CorrectCompanyName is a variant, your code would probably attempt
to
assign an array to it and you would get an error.

I have passed a range of data to a variable (PMSMatchRange) that I
have
dimensioned as an Object. My first For Next loop below works
correctly.
However when I get into my second For Next Loop, I cannot seem to use
the
Offset Method on the PMSMatchRange variable:

CorrectCompanyName = PMSMatchRange.Offset(MatchNumber - 1, 1)

Is this because it is an object? Effectively I am tyring to do a
lookup
off
1 column to the right of the range that I passed to this variable.
Thanks
