Basic Code Problem
 

I have a small problem with one line of code.

Do While ActiveCell.Row < rw


It is part of a loop that works but I need it to use the active cell
from a certain sheet (Carriage). I have tried it as below but it doesnt
work. Think this is just a basic code error but can't work it out.

Do While Sheets("Carriage").ActiveCell.Row < rw

Thanks.

James

Basic Code Problem
 

Good afternoon FugFug

Your code is correct, however the ActiveCell is the currently selected
cell in the currently selected sheet, so you cannot tell Excel to find
the activecell in a diiferent sheet - that is why the error is
returned. You will need to reference the address direct or load it
into a variable and call it that way.

Basic Code Problem
 

Try something like

Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Sheets("Carriage").ActiveCell
While Rng.Row < rw
' do something
Set Rng = Rng(2,1)
Loop
