Thread: Excel refresh page

    Solved: Excel refresh page

    Hi,

    If I save macro to refresh sheet2 starting from sheet1 this works fine.

    [vba]Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("C4").Select
    Application.Run "BLPLinkReset"
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
    Range("C5").Select
    End Sub[/vba]
    If I add a command button and use it to run same code this does not work.
    I get error message:
    Run-time error '1004' Select method of Range class failed.

    [vba]Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("C4").Select
    Application.Run "BLPLinkReset"
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
    Range("C5").Select
    End Sub[/vba]
    Why is it that the same code does not work using the command button?



    Thanks!
    Nick

    Try this, putting MyMacro in a Standard module.

    [VBA]
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    call MyMacro
    End Sub

    Sub MyMacro()
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("C4").Select
    Application.Run "BLPLinkReset"
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
    Range("C5").Select
    End Sub

    [/VBA]

    Basically, code in a Sheet module doesn't like working with another sheet.
