get any opinions yet.
May be I'll be more this side...

What's about MS "deprecated" notation [Sheet2!B5]?
I'm using that notation as it is much simpler to write
than Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B5").

Am I alone? any opinions?

Well, I know I can't use [Sheet2!B5](2),
[MyRangeVar], etc.

Not sure where you get the idea that [] is deprecated.

Sure [A1] is faster to type than Range("A1"). It may be fine for quick
testing but suggest never use it in completed code.

1. the object is hardcoded
2. no intellisense
3. internally *considerably* more work is required to "Evaluate" whatever is
between the square brackets. Qualifying with Range directly gets the
object's properties and methods from the type library.

You did get replies.

I'm not sure how you're looking, but I use google to search groups.

Give it enough information (you as the author, maybe a keyword or date) and
you'll find it.
