Yes, it was that I had excel in the R1C1 mode. Thanks for all the help, now
it works just fine.

With this code I obtain a 'Method of 'Range' object '_Global' failed
error:

Dim Addr As String
Dim SelRange As Range


Addr = frmImport.RefEdit1.Text

Set SelRange = Range(Addr)

This code is in a Button select event on a userform.

Hi Steve,
the RefEdit only works if your sheet is in the $A style not in the R1C1
style

you have two choises :

1) Change the style to R1C1 by VBA (and setting it back if that was what the
user wants)
2)Issue a warning to the user that he must set the R1C1

Tools = Options = General = Check R1C1

Here is an example for the VBA solution that works for me :


========================

Option Explicit
Public Change As Boolean
Sub HeatMap()
'
' Gys de Jongh Feb-2006
' This Routine Constructs a HeatMap
' on the Selected Range in Excel
'
'First Check the reference style of this user
'The Refedit Box only works in the xlA1 style
'Store it in the Public variable Change to set
'it back for the user after the Routine exits
'
Change = False
If Application.ReferenceStyle = xlR1C1 Then
Change = True
Application.ReferenceStyle = xlA1
End If
'
' Choose Color Serie 1 and Highest = Red
' as the Defaults
'
UserForm1.OptionButton1.Value = True
UserForm1.OptionButton3.Value = True
UserForm1.RefEdit1 = ""
UserForm1.RefEdit1.SetFocus
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
