Hi Moiz,

The error would occur if the active sheet were not a worksheet but , say, a
chart sheet.

It seems to accept Worksheets("Sheet1").Cell(1, 1).Select

but not

Range ("A1").Select

Any idea?
(it is not a chart sheet, and the Options/General is not set for RC)

It sounds like you have this code in the sheet module of a worksheet other
than Sheet1. If so, that is your problem. Likewise you could solve it with

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select

or

Activesheet.Range("A1").Select

Your solution was qualifying the range reference, not whether it was
Range("a1") or Cells(1,1)

I found the problem,
It was keeping the focus on a text box, not allowing the selection of a
different worksheet.

Thanks for your help.

Obviously that would be problematic for either

cells(1,1).Select
or
Range("A1").Select

But believe what you like.
