windows(1).worksheets("s1").range("a1").select
workbooks("olddesign.xls").Worksheets("s1").range( "a1").select
Neither of the above works one gives the error
"object does not support or method"
and other gives the error
"select method or range class failed"
I have to use
windows(1).activate
worksheets("s1").activate
range("a1").select


why? Where do I go wrong?
