hi
you're trying to select too much at once.
to select a range, the sheet that has the range must be selected first.
dim ws as worksheet
dim ss as range
set ws = sheets("sheet60")
set ss = sheets("sheet60").range("D2")
ws.activate
ss.select

I've used the following to try and have VB select a sheet dependant on the
value in d2.
Dim ss As Variant
Set ss = Sheet60.Range("d2")

How do I apply that now to select that sheet? I thought something like
sheet(ss).select would do it, but it doesn't work

Sheets(ss).select does work, but doesn't go to the correct sheet number,
whereas Sheet(ss) brings up a "Sub or Function not defined" error.
