How can I determine if the Application.Selection is a Range type object?
Is there a way test way to test like this:

If Application.Selection Is Range Then
'Then do some thing with the range.
End If

Hi Jeff,

Try something like this

Dim rng As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Application.Selection
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Not a r5ange"
End If

Hi,
you can use the TypeName function which returns the 'class' name as a string
of the object or value: in your case, if it is a range
TypeName(Application.Selection) returns "Range". That is :
If TypeName(Application.Selection)="Range" Then
'...
Endif

Regards,
Sebastien

Thank you for your help Bob and Sebastien, much appreciated.

Use the TypeOf operator. E.g.,

If TypeOf Selection Is Excel.Range Then
Debug.Print "range"
Else
Debug.Print TypeName(Selection)
End If
