I have set all my worksheets as Worksheet objects, and I am trying to
reference a particular cell/range, but the code always bombs out with
a "Select method of Range class failed"...

the line is...

WSStats.Range("A1").Select

Why will this not work?

This works...

WSStats.Activate
Range("A1").Select

But I don't want to "Activate" the worksheet in order to reference the
said cell.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

You didn't show all of your code so

To SELECT (what you said) you do need to activate after activating the
desired sheet.
application.goto WSStats.Range("A1")
would have worked but to reference withOUT selecting

WSStats.Range("A1").copy range("a1")

Hi Demon

You can't select a cell on a sheet that is not active
Why do you want to select the cell?

You can always use this to avoid the error

Application.Goto WSStats.Range("A1"), True
