I've written a Macro which returns information held in a sheet I now want to
hide (I dont want anyone messing about with the data!)

But when I hide the sheet the macro can no longer find the information and
says there is a runtime error!

Any ideas how I can get it to look up the information from this hidden sheet?

Cheers

I can read data from a hidden sheet, so it must be something else.

Show us the full code.

Yeah Oddly enough I tried it again after changing some ".Select" commands to
".activate" and it's working perfectly now!!!

Thanks for replying tho!

It should work. For example this works fine!

Dim SH As Worksheet

Set SH = ActiveSheet

SH.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

Debug.Print SH.Range("A1")

SH.Visible = xlSheetVisible


or is it another way you do it?

assume the hidden sheet name is "ABCD"

then

set rng = Worksheets("ABCD").Range("A1").Value
msgbox rng.Address(external:=True) & " - value: " & rng.Value


Worksheets("ABCD").Activate
Range("A1").Select
msgbox Selection.Value

won't work.
