resolving reference - Range of what?
Hello,
I'm automating Excel. I have a string, and I want to use it as a range reference. for example the string will be "MySheet!A2:A4;MyOtherSheet!C2". I have a Workbook object, and I need to access the data. the references are for the current workbook, but as you can see, it can point to several worksheets of that book. if I use the Range property of any Worksheet object, it does not allow me to refer to other sheets. if I try to, an exception is raised. (1) WB.Worksheets(1).Range(MyRef) ' will raise error if not for Sheet1 there is a Range property of the Application object. if I use it in VBA inside Excel, it seems to work fine, but I'm not really sure what workbook it will use if my workbook is not the selected one. (2) WB.Application.Range(MyRef) ' what workbook does it refer to? is there a simple way to resolve a complex range reference? Thanks in advance Krisztian |

A single range reference in VBA can not refer to more than one sheet. I am
not sure what you are getting using the Application.Range - it usually refers to the activesheet. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Krisztian Pinter" wrote in message m... Hello, I'm automating Excel.

resolving reference - Range of what?
Whoa, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.
However, the question is still open. If the range does not contain references to more than one sheet, it still can have a sheet name in it, and I don't know how to get the Range object I want.
