Determining the Selection on a non-active Sheet?
Hi,
Is there a way to determine the range of cells that have been selected on "another" sheet, without first activating it? I want to be able to say something like: Dim theSel as Range Set theSel = Worksheets("A nonactive sheet").Selection but this obviously fails. Any way to accomplish the equivalent without activating or selecting that other sheet? Thanks, Jim S. |

Hi Jim
AFAIK you have to activate/select the sheet first. You may hide this with diaabling the screenupdating -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Jim S. wrote: Hi, Is there a way to determine the range of cells that have been selected on "another" sheet, without first activating it?

Determining the Selection on a non-active Sheet?
If you look at VBA's help for Selection, you'll see that it applies to the
application or window object. You'll have to go through one of them to get it. MsgBox Windows(1).Selection.Address & "--" & Windows(1).Caption MsgBox Windows(2).Selection.Address & "--" & Windows(2).Caption "Jim S." wrote: Hi, Is there a way to determine the range of cells that have been selected on "another" sheet, without first activating it?
