Please clear up a bit of fog for me.
When I run:
Sheet04.Activate
Sheet05.Select
both have the same effect; they make the sheet active.
But I'm thinking that there must be, perhaps, a suttle difference between
the two.
Can anyone tell me what the suttle difference might be, and when it would be
more approriate to use one over the other?
Thanks

I think the subtle differences are more in selecting ranges

Range("A1:B9").Select
Range("B5").Activate

makes B5 the active cell in the A1:B9 selection.

Here's at least one use...

To select a cell or a range of cells, use the Select method. To make
single cell the active cell, use the Activate method. Notice how th
example "selects" the range, but "activate" will move to the cel
without losing the original "select" criteria.

Example...

Range("A1:B3").Select
Range("A2").Activat
