how to test if range object target deleted
I did the following:
Sub test() Dim cell As Range Set cell = ActiveCell ActiveCell.EntireRow.Delete If cell Is Nothing Then MsgBox "row deleted" Else MsgBox "cell variable is not nothing!" End If End Sub The answer I got was "cell variable is not nothing!". Question: how to check for the variable cell no longer existing? I know I can do the following: dim anyS as string on error resume next anys ="" anys = cell.address on error goto 0 if anys ="" then msgbox "cell is nothing" end if But there should be a cleaner way!

how to test if range object target deleted
Hi Bob,
Having assigned an object to an object to a variable, deleting the object does not remove the variable pointer from memory and so the variable will continue to be 'not nothing'. You can confirm that with objptr(cell). I doubt there is a cleaner way to test if the object still exists other than to attempt to refer to one of the variable's anticipated properties under an error handler, though I suspect there is an API approach. I think the method you posted is just fine! Regards, Peter T "Bob Flanagan" wrote in message . ..
