I use a formula to obtain the row of the value I am seeking to obtain which
is in a different worksheet than the one I am working in. I am trying to use
the following

strOffset = "R" & Trim(Str(intColNo)) & "C3"
intDayDiff = Worksheets(strMstSht).Range(strOffset).Value

strOffset does contain the correct column # and returns R7C3. However I get
an error in the intDayDiff line. Any help would be appreciated.

Range does not support R1C1 references.

I would suggest

Worksheets(strMstSht).Cells(intColNo,3).Value

but why would your row number be in a variable named intColNo?

Thanks very much for everybodys help. In answer to your quesion I am creating
a schedule for the construction industry which takes into consideration
Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. I initially set-up a schedule based on days
between steps and days between homes. As the schedule progresses the user can
manually override the calculations. I then do a search backwards on the
schedule to find the first cell that is not a formula. From that point
forward I have to recalculate the workdays to eliminate Sat. Sun. and
Holidays. Because there is a direct relationship between the worksheets I am
able to determine which step and lot I am on and consequently the lead time
between activities.

M.,

Range only accepts A1 style references. So you could use:

strOffset = "C" & intColNo
intDayDiff = Worksheets(strMstSht).Range(strOffset).Value

Or, you could use the .Cells object, which takes row and column numbers:

intDayDiff = Worksheets(strMstSht).Cells(intColNo, 3).Value

Range does not use RC designations, Cells does. Try using something more like
this:

intDayDiff = Worksheets(strMstSht).Cells(intColNo, 3).Value
