Easy code, confounded by error
I'm simply trying to get the text stored in a cell that has its own named range. I keep getting a "Method 'Range' of 'object _Global' failed" error. Here is the code:
Dim temp As String temp = Range("statusBarMsg").Value2 What can I be missing here? Thanks. |

That error might be because the Name doesn't exist, or it doesn't refer to a
range, or it refers to more than one cell, or it has refers to a range that's been removed (a ref error), or it's a worksheet level name and the sheet is not active. How far do you get with this Dim rng As Range Dim nm As Name Set nm = ActiveWorkbook.Names("statusBarMsg") Set rng = nm.RefersToRange Debug.Print rng.Address Debug.Print rng.Value2 Regards, Peter T wrote in message ...

With Name Manager, take a close look at how statusBarMsg is defined, if at all. I wonder if the scope is a specific worksheet, not workbook, and when you execute the line above, ActiveSheet is not worksheet scope defined for statusBarMsg. Alternatively, put the following in place of the code above and execute (just for diagnostic purposes): Dim nm For Each nm In ActiveWorkbook.Names If InStr(nm.Name, "statusBarMsg") Then MsgBox nm.Name Next |

I actually solved this by simply adding a worksheet reference in front of the range reference. As in sheet1.range("statusBarMsg")... Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. |
