method 'range' of object'_global' failed on XL sort

[ragtopcaddy via AccessMonster.com]

I am getting the error msg "method 'range' of object'_global' failed "
sporadically in my code. I read elsewhere not to use "With ObjXL", but
there's no explanation of why.

I get it off and on with this line:

With objXL
(lots of other code...)
.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:AO" & iRow).Select
'Here's where I get the error:
.Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("AK2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:
=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End With

I have also seen another strange error with something like "RPL" in it's text
at the same point in my code.

Thanks,

Bill R

You need to qualify the call to the Range method with the object on
which you want to invoke the method. Maybe
.Selection.Sort Key1:= .ActiveSheet.Range("AK2"), ...

John,

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like that might be the problem. I'll try
it this afternoon.

Thanks,
