Hi All,

I am trying to write a small sub that will select all the shapes on a
worksheet.

The code I have below *seems* to create the array, but how do I then
use that array to actually select the shapes?

The four lines I hav commented out are the ones I am struggling with -
those are my attempts, but they all error out.

I am using Excel 2000 under Win 2000 Pro with all updates and service
packs installed.

Thanks,

Alan.

Sub SelectAllShapes()


Dim Counter As Integer
Dim MyShape As Shape
Dim CurrentShape As Shape
Dim ShapesCollection() As Variant


Counter = 1

For Each MyShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes

Set CurrentShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Counter)

ReDim Preserve ShapesCollection(Counter)

Set ShapesCollection(Counter - 1) = CurrentShape

Counter = Counter + 1

Next MyShape



'ActiveSheet.ShapesCollection.Select

'ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(ShapesCollection).Select

'ActiveSheet.Shapes.Array(ShapesCollection).Select

'ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array(ShapesCollection)) .Select


End Sub

Never mind!

ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll


Talk about trying to over complicate things!

Thanks,
