Error Handle
 

I have a marco that helps sort a range of cells, but if a user, choices some
other cells I get an error 'runtime error 1004'

I would like to put some error handling around this, just to say cannot use
this with the cell that they have been selected.

Can anyone help?

Here is the code;

Range("A7:BP150").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B7"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess,
_
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Range("A7").Select

Thanks Paul

Paul,

How about avoiding the error, by telling the user
what is going to happen...
'-----------
Sub TestSort()
If MsgBox("This will sort range A7:BP150 only. ", _
vbOKCancel + vbQuestion, " PR did it") = vbCancel Then Exit Sub

Range("A7:BP150").Sort Key1:=Range("B7"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

Range("A7").Select
End Sub

Jim,
Thanks for that, and it is a good idea, but I still would like to put a
error handle round it.

PR,

Are you letting the user select the sort range, or will you always
sort only Range("A7:BP150") ?
Is B7 always going to be Key1 and the user can select any range
that encompasses B7 ?

To just in put in error handling, you could do something
like this...
'-------------
Sub TestSort()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

'Your code...

Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
Beep
MsgBox "Oops - something went wrong with the sort. " & vbCr & _
"Please check the sort area.", vbExclamation, " Blame PR"
End Sub
