Error Message
 

I'm trying to run a spreadsheet program written by someone else, but
successfully used by many other people.

I'm getting an error message when I hit the "Go" button. The macro runs for
some time and then stops with this error message:

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

Debug takes me to the following highlighted area:

Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal


I'm using Excel 2000 and Windows XP Pro (with SP2)

Can anyone shed light on this problem?

Thanks for any help,


Steve

What is selected when the code runs?
It sounds like the wrong range may be highlighted

Error Message
 

My guess Steve is one of the values within the sort is not supported
in XL2000. I had a similar problem in code written in XP which would
debug on XL2000. Can't text as I don't have XL2000. Does the debug not
highlight a specifc part of the sort code?

Try and record on your own PC the sort action and see how this code
matches to the one you quote

In the line prior to that highlighted is this:

DataOption# parms were added in xl2002.

Remove it and test it out.

Dave,

How do I remove it? I get an error message if I just stick a " ' " in front
of the line.
