Hi Jim,

Sub Macro2()

I think that there is a subtle problem with this in that, as written, the
sort key refers to the activesheet.

I think you meant something like:

Sub Macro2()
Dim sh As Worksheet

Set sh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sh.Columns("A:B").Sort Key1:=sh.Range("B1"), _
Order1:=xlAscending ', _
Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Try avoiding the select(s) something like this.

Sub Macro2()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Columns("A:B").Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Header:=xlYes,
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Hi folks!

I have this simple macro created using the recorder:

Sub Macro2()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Select
Columns("A:B").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess,
_
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

All it does is sort Sheet3 A:B

I have the macro assigned to a button on another sheet. It works fine
except
that after it runs and I go to sheet3 the sorted range, columns A:B, are
still selected.

How can I get the sorted range to be unselected after the macro runs?

Thanks!

Biff
