In a recent response to another query, the solution featured square
brackets. Wishing to understand more, I delved into the VBA Help file to
find that it equates to "Evaluate" and suggested that a range could be
referred to as [A1] instead of Range("A1").

In a workbook with many instances of Range statements, substituting square
brackets will significantly reduce the number of characters in the code (and
therefore the file size), but is there a downside to this. Does the method
use more resources, or take longer to run?

Many thanks
