Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed

G

Graham

I am just developing this code to cut data from an intermediate workbook and
paste it into the main workbook. Eventually it will be run from Access, but
at the moment it is stand alone.

When I run it the error is
Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed

The problem line seems to be
Range(Cells(lLastRow, iLastCol)).Activate

The message above that line proves that the Sheetname, last column and last
row are correct - the range to be cut is also correctly highlighted

Haven't tested it but that line has redundancy. Try

Cells(lLastRow, iLastCol).Activate

Thanks Bob

That was it - so logical when it is pointed out.

Now there is another problem - first iteration is fine, but on the second
iteration the line
Sheets(sCurrSheet).Select
results in Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range

I put a message in before that line and the sheetname looks fine.

Any suggestions please.

Thanks again

Are you sure that sCurrSheet doesn't have leading or trailing spaces?

Thanks once again Bob

That was exactly it.

To put spaces in a delimited list is more than enough proof that I have been
away from professional coding for some time.

How would us hackers survive without a forum like this.
