Ranges are objects. .Value (for a single cell range) will be a simple string or
double.

Dim rngNetwork as Range
Set rngNetwork _
= Workbooks("UserForm_training").Sheets("backendinfo ").Range("F11").Value

Should be:

Dim rngNetwork as Range
Set rngNetwork _
= Workbooks("UserForm_training").Sheets("backendinfo ").Range("F11")

Or

Dim rngNetwork as Long 'or string
rngNetwork _
= Workbooks("UserForm_training").Sheets("backendinfo ").Range("F11").Value

========
And for the workbook lines, you can't include the full path. It's just the
workbook name of that open file.

Dim wrkbkUrl1 As Workbook
Set wrkbkUrl1 = Workbooks("1 Network.xls")

On the other hand, if the workbook isn't open, you'd use:

Dim wrkbkUrl1 As Workbook
Set wrkbkUrl1 = Workbooks.open _
(filename:="P:\VBA training\Excel templates for Network stats\1 Network.xls")

Debra Dalgleish has a list of books at her site:

John Walkenbach's is a nice one to start with.

End Sub

I've come across about 6 different error types trying to work this
out.
Anything blatently wrong?
Any hints or nudges in the right direction
