Hi,

I want to activate a sheet in Run time. Can anyone explain to me wh
of the following two bits of code, the first one work but the secon
doesn't.

Set monthSheet = baseBook.Sheets("Month")
monthSheet.Activate

Set currSheet = baseBook.Sheets(sheet)
currSheet.Activate - error message "Out of Range"

Cheers, J

Because you haven't enclosed sheet in quotes, so it is looking for a
variable called sheet, which is probably empty?
