Object range method runtime error
 

In my application there are values i want to place in consistently
named cells. The location of these cells can vary by row.
They must appear after the row which has a row number of endmanifrow.

my "developing" code is below.

Things were going fine until i got to the "method" I really
wanted, "try #3" when I got the runtime error.

I suppose I can build a string variable to hold the E6 value,
(try#2) from the endmanifrow and trackcol values,
but I'd prefer not to.

In the module's declarations:
tpdmanif is dim'd as worksheet.
zzbranchstdT is dim'd as object
Any suggestions on how to implement the try#3 method? Thanks.

Object range method runtime error

I can see two reasons this method may fail. The first is that when using the
cells property with Range you need to specify Cells twice. So your code would
read:

Set zzbranchstdT = tpdmanif.range(cell,cell)

Alternately you could just use the cells property of the sheet. So

Set zzbranchstdT = tpdmanif.cell.

However this still doesn't work for me as VBA doesn't seem to want to accept
the string variable here. Why don't you just use

Set zzbranchstdT = tpdmanif.Cells(endmanifrow + 1, trackcol)

which takes away the need to set and use the cell variable.

Hope this helps

Object range method runtime error
 

Hi Rowan,
Not only did it help like crazy but also worked like a charm.
Thanks.

I'm kinda new to VBA with Excel, and keep forgetting about the
properties, shame really, but I find them hard to look up in the
excel help arena. Do you know of a book or reference that presents
them in more of a "lookable upable" format?

by the way, when it comes to using range with cells, when I only want one,
I "cheat" and use: range(Cells(x, y), Cells(x, y)).Formula = "aaa"
but I felt this would muddy the question I was asking.

Again,
Thanks,
Neal

Object range method runtime error
 

You're welcome, Neal.

Search on Amazon for John Walkenbach. I started out with his Excel 2000
Programming for Dummies and still use it as a reference from time to time. He
also has a range of Excel Power Programming books if you are after something
a little more comprehensive.

Have fun
Rowan
