Hi
I have written a macro in which i need to call the spreadsheet function
Fact. This gives me an error. Most of the spreadsheet functions are
simply called by using their names but not this one. Anyone have any
ideas on how to do this. By the way using the Fact function in a work
sheet does fine.

One generally uses
MyVar=Application.WorksheetFunction. then a drop list pops up showing
which Excel function may be used in VBA
In general, if VBA has an equivalent function, you cannot use the VBA
function (e.g MAX, SUM)
best wishes

You need to use the WorksheetFunction property of the application object

result=Application.WorksheetFunction.Fact(........ .....)
