"Select" and "Activate" failing?
I have a Workbook_Open macro as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Worksheets("Sheet2").Visible = True Worksheets("Sheet3").Visible = xlVeryHidden Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select End Sub The last line fails with " "Select" method of "Range" class failed." I then changed it to Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Activate and got the same failure error. Why? Ed |

I don't know why but the work around I use is:
Application.GoTo Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") Charles Ed wrote: I have a Workbook_Open macro as follows: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Worksheets("Sheet2").Visible = True Worksheets("Sheet3").Visible = xlVeryHidden Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select End Sub The last line fails with " "Select" method of "Range" class failed."

or you can use the following two lines
Worksheets("Sheet1").activate Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select You can not select a range unless that sheet is already activated(selected) Hope this helps.

Thank you, sonu. Activating the sheet first did the trick.
