Hi Yngve,

It is usually unnecessary, and inefficient, to
make selections. More normally, a range
variable would be declared and the variable
would be used for subsequent manipulation.

So, for example, your sort code might
resemble:

'==========
Public Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim SH As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range

Set WB = Workbooks("myBook.xls")
Set SH = WB.Sheets("Sheet2")
Set Rng = SH.Range("A1:C20")

With Rng
.Sort Key1:=.Cells(1, 1), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Key2:=.Cells(1, 2), _
Order2:=xlAscending, _
Key3:=.Cells(1, 2), _
Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End With

End Sub
'<<===========

If, however, you do have an imperative
for the user to select a range, Gary's
Student has shown you how to return the
requisite range using the Application.InputBox
method.

If you are experiencing probleme in
implementing either suggestion, post back
with the specific problems encountered.

Hi Yngve,

============ Is ther a way to check selection before I sort a sheet, I
need to do
it on the fly

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

I am not sure that I have understood your
question, but

Activecell

returns the currently selected cell and

Selection

returns the selected range.

If the selected range is a single cell, Activecell
and will return the same cell.

T|herefore, adapt something like:

'==========
Public Sub Tester()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim rCell As Range

Set Rng = Selection
Set rCell = ActiveCell

MsgBox Prompt:="Selected range = " _
& Selection.Address(External:=True) _
& vbNewLine & "Active cell = " _
& ActiveCell.Address(External:=True)
End Sub
'<<==========

However, a more interesting quesion
might be *why* you need to check the
selection; armed with that information,
it might well be possible to provide a
more useful response.

thanks for replaying

I need to do the cheek to bee sure that the user has select proper
before sorting.
The range I have to select is Range("A5:H"&....)
