Can't select worksheet
The following code is called from Sheet2:
1. Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect 2. Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate 3. Cells(3, 1).Copy 'THIS CELL IS COPIED FROM SHEET2....and is WRONG 4. Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(I, 1).Copy 'THIS CELL IS COPIED FROM SHEET1....and is CORRECT Why doesn't line 3 do the copy from Sheet1 as I had intended? Thanks, Bernie |

When you do not explicitly specify sheets you leave things to chance and
prone to errors as code is modified... Try this with Worksheets("Sheet1") .Unprotect .Activate .Cells(3, 1).Copy .Cells(I, 1).Copy end with Code in standard code modules refer to the active sheet unless otherwise specified. Code in sheets refer to the sheet they are in unless otherwise specified. That being said ALWAYS explictly reference the sheets you are working with. It makes your code more readable and much less prone to run time error. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "bw" wrote: The following code is called from Sheet2: 1. Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect 2.

Because the code is in Sheet2, Cells(3,1) would refer to A3 in Sheet2, even
if Sheet1 was the activesheet. If it were in a code module, Cells(3,1) would have referred to A3 in the activesheet. To be safe, always qualify your ranges.
