Tim, it appears that the code goes to the error handler on the line:

Set rng = Range(s2)

How do you test whether or not that stmt generates an error. I tried
Iserror(Range(s2)) but it did not work.


Thanks

255 character limit I believe.

Here is a macro to test:

Sub test2()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim s As String, s2 As String, i As Long, rng As Range
Const ColRef As String = "A"
' Loop until it fails
For i = 1 To 10000
s = s & Cells(i, ColRef).Address(0, 0)
s2 = s & "," & Cells(i + 1, ColRef).Address(0, 0)
Set rng = Range(s2)
s = s & ","
Next
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
Debug.Print "Success for range(string(len=" & Len(s) & "))" & vbLf &
_
"Failure for range(string(len=" & Len(s2) & "))"
Debug.Print "Success for " & s
Debug.Print "Failure for " & s2
End Sub

I have a string of addresses which i want to pass to the rng object.
They
may not be in contiguous range form. So if I am in a position where I
am
dong this:

Set rng = Range("A1,A3,A5,A7,A9,A10 etc")

What are the constraints without taking into account the Union
function?

Note I will be using the Union function later but want to know the
constraints with it for the time being.

Thanks

The method Union takes up to 30 arguments (Excel 2002).
Sample use: Set rng = Union(Range("A1:A5"), Range("D1:D5"),
Range("L1:L5"))

Hth,
