Hello,

My report page displays formula based data from the data sheet. I need to
increment up data data sheet (remove data from the lower row and then read
data in the current row). The catch is that I don't want to leave the report
sheet to move up to the next row in the data sheet.

So is there a way to determine what row the data sheet is on without having
to activate it? I noticed that selection.Address only works with
ActiveSheets.

Thanks,
Rich

Well, I came up with this: I have to prime the system by writing the current
row number of the data sheet in a cell in the report sheet. I read that
number from my macro code and then decrement it by one and write the new
number (which is the next upper row in the data sheet) in the cell in the
report sheet. The the macro does its thing to the data sheet. Any
suggestions appreciated if there is a better way to do this.

Rich, the "Selection" object, without a specifier infront of it, implies
Activesheet.Selection. Therefore, it only replies to the activesheet. You
can use worksheets("Data").selection.address and
worksheets("Report").selection.address
to specify what you want on each sheet. You may want to research some on
implicit and explicit variables to ensure that you are always using the
proper objects. Whenever possible, it is best to use explicit variables.

Let me know if you'd like more info on this.

Bill
