Routine works on first sheet but not second

[Jim Jackson]

The code below is the section where I am having trouble. On sheet 1
everything works perfectly. On sheet two, with identical columns "B", the
"Select Method of Range Class Failed" error message pops up at "rng.select".
I replaced that with "Range("B5:B38").select and got the error message at
"strike.activate".

What could make it not work on sheet 2 with Column B identical to that on
Sheet 1?

This is going to cause ulcers. There are four more sheets to run through if
I can ever get it past Sheet 2.


Sheets(type1).Select
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(5, 2), .Cells(5, 2).End(xlDown))
rng.Select

Set strike = .Cells.Find(what:=strike, after:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlDown, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
strike.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial
strike = strike + 2.5
Loop Until strike > 140
Next

strike = 0
type1 = type2
type2 = type3
type3 = type4
type4 = type5
type5 = type6
shtype = type1
Next

Where is your with statement and what does it say?

The With statement says "With Cells" and I bet it should say "With Sheets".

I think the With statement needs to be after the Sheets(type1).Select
Statement. Otherwise I think you are still trying to tell excel
Sheet1.Cells. Let me know if that helps

That change made it work. Thanks for the "Wake up call."

NP. It's funny that we never see our mistake until we show it to other
programmers
