Hi,

My userform sources data from cells in a worksheet ("Projects"). However,
when the other worksheet in my workbook ("Timesheet") is the active
worksheet, the userform will not launch. Instead I get a run-time error:
'Select method of Range class failed'

Can someone please explain why this occurs.

Many thanks.

If you have code in the sheet module for Projects and it is of the form

Range("A1").Select

if Projects is not the activesheet, this code will raise an error because it
is implicitly qualified as

worksheets("Projects").Range("A1").select

and since projects is not the activesheet, you get the error.

Change your code to

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select

possibly - it depends on what you are doing.

Hi Tom,

I tried implementing the change you recommended and then running the
userform from the 'Timesheet' worksheet and the following error came up:

Run-time error 1004:
Application-defined or object-defined error

Any ideas?...

That you have something screwed up in your code. Beyond that, I would have
to be clairvoyant. If you used

Activesheet.Range("A1").Select

then I don't see how that would raise such an error unless Timesheet is a
chart sheet or you have something unusual selected. (make sure timesheet
is actually a worksheet and not a macro sheet or something).
