General Question regarding passing cells, ranges, cell values through subs & functions
So I guess this leaves me with one last option - Is it possible
somehow to have a parent range from which named children ranges are created such that the children ranges would be sorted but comprised of non- contiguous cells within the parent range- maybe somehow using offset/match combos? For example: The parent range could include: A1:B10 but one child range could be A1:B2 & A4:B6 & A9:B10 ? Also - is there a limit to the number of named ranges you can have? And what does this do to file size and file speed? Is another option I could use is rather than watching for Worksheet_Change event watching for somekind of a Cell selection event (eg. cursor is now on cell A10) from which I could then quickly run the validation routine on only that cell rather than keeping the entire 200x6 = and thus at any give time, I'd only need a much smaller subset of my name range validation lists/ranges? |

And what does this do to file size and file speed? I suspect this is one of those limited by available memory. I doubt there is an effect on speed unless they are dynamic/calculated. I wouldn't see the storage being much more than that required for a cell but it isn't anything I have ever experimented with. You can have discontiguous ranges, so your sample child range could be a valid range. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy " wrote in message ...
