I think it's a good idea to specify the property that you want. I like it
because it makes the code much more self-documenting.

The OP added this detail:
dim db as string
in the followup post.

So that means that:
db = Range("currentdb")
is relying on the default property of the range (.value).

Check your spelling of that range name.

And check to make sure that the sheet being looked at actually has a range named
currentdb.

I have

dim db as string

I am trying to get the string from the cell named 'currentdb'. I have used
this same code in other procedures and it has worked fine.

hi
try
set db = Range("currentdb")

you set objects and a range is an object. values are just equals(=)

I have the following code:

db = Range("currentdb")

I have used this code before in other procedures and it has worked. When I
use in a userform_Terminate I get the error

method 'Range' of Object'_Global' failed.

'currentdb' is a named cell on a worksheet.

Why won't this work?
Thanks
