hi
a range is an object.
a string is a value.
i am confused now!?!?!?!
if a string then......
dim db as string
db = currentdb.value
else
dim db as range
set db = range("currentdb")

a string is somthing like "i am a string"
a range is someting like A1:R20

are we on the same page?!?!?!?

dim db as string

I am trying to get the string from the cell named 'currentdb'. I have used
this same code in other procedures and it has worked fine.

you set objects and a range is an object. values are just equals(=)

I have used this code before in other procedures and it has worked. When I
use in a userform_Terminate I get the error

method 'Range' of Object'_Global' failed.

'currentdb' is a named cell on a worksheet.

Why won't this work?
Thanks
