RefEdit - get range from another workbook
 

With the control RefEdit in a userform I can select a range within th
same workbook as where the RefEdit is. How do I choose a range i
another workbook? I´m going crazy on this... :confused

Not sure if this helps but I use this to reference a listbox to another
file:

SysList.RowSource = Workbooks("System.tbl").Worksheets("System"). _
Range("A2:A" & RowCount).Address(External:=True)

Well, I want to be able to select any range in any workbook and have th
range returned automatically, just like the RefEdit-type controls in th
Chart dialog where you select the data ranges

I though I knew how to do this, but the Window menu is inaccessible, and
Ctrl+Tab doesn't work.

Application.InputBox(Type:=8) provides very similar functionality, but
it allows you to navigate via the Window menu, and it's much less goofy
than the RefEdit.

Actually, you could do it if you don't mind a little extra coding. Put a listbox near the
control, populated with the names of the open workbooks. When one is selected, activate the
corresponding workbook under the form.

You're not using that RefEdit on a modeless form, are you? Good, because if you do, Excel will
hang in some rather amazing ways.
