refering to a named range on a different worksheet
 

I have code that refers to a named range:

Dim name1, name2, varRange, c, rowCount
name2 = ActiveWorkbook.Names("Range")
rowCount = ActiveSheet.Range(name2).Value 'Original

"Range" is a named range on Sheet2

If sheet 2 is active when I run the code the value of "Range" loads
correctly.

However, I need this to work when I have sheet1 active. Trying this I
get "Application-defined or object-defined error" probably because
of the "activesheet" object...

I tried: rowCount = ActiveWorkbook.Range(name2).Value
and get "Object doesn't support this property or method (Error
438)"

Clearly Im missing something here, any help will be appreciated.

You need to tell what sheet the named range is on, try this in your
code:

rowCount = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(name2).Value
