how can vba detect what is currently selected?
hi,
i have a userform which i use to create the formulae for dynamic ranges. when it initializes, it bases itself on the currently selected cell, which works fine. however, i noticed the other day that if some other object is selected (in this case, a chart) the VBA returns an error. how can i determine what sort of thing is selected when the form is initialized? the user form uses a RefEdit control (I know, I know!), so i wouldn't really want the form to close, as the user would have the chance to select a range whilst the form is still open. tia, Tim |

Thanks Rob - never used 'typeof' before, but it seems to do the trick
