Hi Bob,

Is it strictly necessary to qualify the Range with a dot?

Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim r1 As Range, r2 As Range
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet3")

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate

With ws
Set r1 = Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(2, 2))
Set r2 = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(2, 2))
End With

MsgBox r1.Parent.Name & vbCr & _
r2.Parent.Name

End Sub

Regards,
Peter T

The range should be dot qualified also

with activesheet
Set rTOCtyLst = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, iEndRow))
end with

I've only glanced at your code but try

with activesheet
Set rTOCtyLst = Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, iEndRow))
end with

this qualifies the dot that precedes your Cells to the sheet.
Alternatively
just remove those dots if, and only if you are working with the active
sheet.

It would be a good idea to qualify your variables
Dim strOrig as string, strOutcomes As String
Dim rCell as range, rTOCtyLst As Range
Dim iOrigCityNo as long, iEndRow As Long ' not Integer with rows

Still working on this code:

Sub CtyMatch()
Dim strOrig, strOutcomes As String
Dim rCell, rTOCtyLst As Range
Dim iOrigCityNo, iEndRow As Integer

strOrig = ActiveSheet.Range("A2")
iOrigCityNo = Left(strOrig, 2)
iEndRow = ActiveSheet.Range.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set rTOCtyLst = Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, iEndRow))

But am getting an "invalid or unqualified reference" error on the last
line, .Cells being highlighted. I copied this line from another thread
here so I'm stumped as to why it doesn't recognize ".Cells" here but
does elsewhere in a nearly identical situation.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
