Hi there,
Can you tell when one has to reference a cell by the spreadsheet name it
belongs to and when it is not required?

Calling this sub from Sheet1
Sub Button1
Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Range("A3").Select
End
Return Range("A3") from Sheet1

#1: Is the solution to use Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A3")?
#2: Is the solution to use use named range (unique for the workbook) for
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A3") and then reference this name directly

Thanks
Ben

You have to reference the sheet as well when the sheet that you want is not
the active sheet, or that you don't know it is the active sheet. It is
probably good practice to always use a sheet reference.
