Thanks, Tom. It's all working fine. I've created the named ranges manually
and successfully copied them across with code. I took out the Dim line and
it's still working well.

Dim Intra_mA as Range
With Worksheets("Lookup")
Set Intra_mA = .Range(.Range("A13"), _
.Range("A13").end(xldown)).Resize(,6)
End With

or if you did create a named range

Set Intra_mA = Range("MyLookupRange")

I think we're talking at crossed purposes here. I was wanting to make the
SOURCE ranges named, such that if I had to add something to the range, it
wouldn't mean me having to rewrite a lot of code to go with it.

In other words (using the example I gave), Intra_mA is currently a range
on
Lookup as defined in the Set line, but I wanted it to be a named range so
that if for example I needed to add an extra row, I could do that on
Lookup
and redefine the named range, rather than having to go into the code.

More importantly it would mean that the ranges below Intra_mA in Lookup
would automatically update.

I wasn't rewriting your code, only showing how to copy to a named range.


Dim Intra_mA as Range
'Worksheets("Dental").Range("A16").Name = "Destination"
Set Intra_mA = Worksheets("Lookup").Range("A13:F20")
Intra_mA.Copy worksheets("Dental").Range("Destination")


this line
Worksheets("Dental").Range("A16").Name = "Destination"

just illustrates that at some point before using it, you need to define
the
named range "Destination". You can do it manually - one time - no code
needed.

Tom, I'm having difficulty with this. If I do away with the Dim & Set
lines
and leave the Copy line the same, I get a Run-time error '424': Object
required. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

So basically I'm doing away with my Dim & Set lines and leaving the
Copy
line the same. Easier to implement than I thought.

Thanks, Tom.

Intra_mA.Copy Range("Destination")

I am creating a series of sheets where basic data is entered on a
userform
then ranges are copied from a lookup sheet are copied to a sheet
to
create
a
configured layout.

To create the ranges I am currently using:
Dim Intra_mA as Range
Set Intra_mA = Worksheets("Lookup").Range("A13:F20")

To copy the range I then use

Intra_mA.Copy Worksheets("Dental").Range("A16")

Would it be easier to create named ranges on the lookup sheet, and
how
would
I then implement the copy routine?

I am thinking this because I just came across an error in my
original
setup
for one of the sheets which meant I had to insert another line
into
a
range,
thereby offsetting all the ranges below it.
