sending parameter of another cell value
 

currently am using code:

Dim intMaterial As Integer
Dim strMaterial As String
strMaterial = ActiveCell.Offset([0], [-15])
intMaterial = ConvertMaterial(strMaterial)

the above works, but was going to try to reduce by two lines to:

Dim intMaterial As Integer
intMaterial = ConvertMaterial(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -15)) 'runtime error
1004 object defined error
-or-
Dim intMaterial As Integer
intMaterial = ConvertMaterial(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -15).Address(0,0))
'returns cell reference, not value
-or-
Dim intMaterial As Integer
intMaterial = ConvertMaterial(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -15).value) 'runtime
error 1004 object defined error

ConvertMaterial is my own function that takes in a string and returns an int.
Any ideas how to do this? thanx

Oops, this does work, I did not have my active cell set properly

Dim intMaterial As Integer
intMaterial = ConvertMaterial(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -15).value)

I had a vague rememberance of what I thought was your function (did you post
it some time ago?) and had the impression you were passing in an address
string - so I guess I didn't pay as close attention as I should have since
your code shows you were passing in the value.

Value would be the property to use as you have discovered.
