Which would be quite useful especially fo creating ccertain custom lookup
functions. This is the only function I have ever had a probelem with.....VBA
editor won't even capitalize the function name....

Any thoughts?

Not thoroughly tested but it seems that if A2 contains a reference to A1
then
Range(Range("A2"))
would return the value of A1 in VBA just like INDIRECT(A2) does when used as
a Worksheet formula.

I don't think I've ever used =indirect() in code.

But I have used stuff like:

dim myRng as range
with activesheet
.range("a1").value = "c11:e99"
set myrng = .range(.range("a1").value)
end with

So myrng would point at c11:e99 of that activesheet.

This is useful for setting up a contiguous database that references the same
cell position on many different sheets - especially if you have MANY sheets.
Say like 100 coast models where the FY07 cost is in cell C10 on every
sheet....

Paste the sheet names in a column....then use a custom function to
concatenate the sheet name and the cell references. Make easy pivots out of
data on 100 tabs.

Thanks again.
