Default Selection on a non-active sheet?

Hi Andy,

I don't think you can do what you are asking but perhaps if you like to tell
us what you are trying to achieve then I am sure somewone will come up with a
way of doing it. One thing that comes to mind is an Application.InputBox
Method where the user can select the required range when it is required.

Let's say on Sheet1 the range A1:B2 is selected, and on Sheet2 that C3:D4 is
selected. When a user switches between sheets, Excel displays the selected
(and active) cells correctly, so somehow it keeps track of what cells are
selected on every sheet, even though only one at a time is active.

However the Selection object only applies to the active sheet and window, so
if Sheet1 were active, how would I find out what cells are selected on Sheet2
without activating it? I'd like to write "Sheet2.Seletion" or
"Sheet2.RangeSelection", but neither is legal.
