IsEmpty and Is Nothinq problems
Am having problems in testing for the values held by range
variables. As I understand it, if the range variable holds more than 1 value then I should test using If IsArray, but I can't get that to work, either. At the point where the following sequence will run, the variables have the following values: HideCols = True (Dimmed as Boolean) Global_ExclColRng has the value 'Nothing' Wkbk_ExclColRng has the column 'D' Sheet_ExclColRng has the value 'Nothing' All 3 variables are dimmed as Range If HideCols = True Then On Error Resume Next If Not IsEmpty(Global_ExclColRng) Then Global_ExclColRng.EntireColumn.Hidden = True ElseIf Not IsEmpty(Wkbk_ExclColRng) Then Wkbk_ExclColRng.EntireColumn.Hidden = True ElseIf Not IsEmpty(Sheet_ExclColRng) Then Sheet_ExclColRng.EntireColumn.Hidden = True End If On Error GoTo 0 End If How do I get this to work, please?

isempty works with a single variable or a single cell.
if you have a range variable, and it does not point to a range, then you test this state using Dim Global_ExclColRng as Range If Global_ExclColRng is Nothing then ' no referencing a cell Elseif Global_ExcelColRng.count = 1 then if isempty(Global_ExcelColRng) then ' one cell, its empty Else ' multicell range bEmpty = True for each cell in Global_ExcelColRng if not isempty(cell) then bEmpty = False exit for end if Next if bEmpty then ' all the cells are empty End if End if if a multicell range, an alternative to looping the cells and checking individually is to use the worksheet countA function if application.CountA(Global_ExcelColRng) = 0 then ' all cells are empty End if It would work for both a multicell and single cell range - so you wouldn't have to differentiate However, if the variable is Nothing, you always need to check for that first and not try to use it as a range if that is the case. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Stuart" wrote in message ...

If you don't have merged cells and the worksheet isn't protected, I can't
think of anything that would cause that error. make one of the troublesome sheets active.
