Hello,

I have a macro that runs Ok for me but crashes out with a runtime error for
a colleague. The macro opens another spreadsheet, searches through a list
for a match and then copies information back to the original spreadheet. It
runs fine for me but my colleague gets a runtime error9.
We are using the same version of excel.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Do all users have the same file structure?

Yep, same file structure we're opening it from the same place and using the
same files.

You should always report the text of the error message, if there is any.
Codes do not usually mean one specific thing.

Sorry. Run time Error 9 - subscript out of range

You should be able to debug this when the debugger stops on the line of code
that generates this error. That line is a roadmap to the problem.

For example:

Worksheets("abc").Select

will generate this exact message if there is no worksheet named "abc" in the
active workbook.

Something is missing when the code is run on the problem machines but we
can't say what it is without seeing the code. But I encourage you to try to
figure it out<g.

They haven't happened to change the list separator character on the
problem PC?
