Set statement

[av8tordude]

I have this code place in the Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() procedure. I reference this code in a few other procedure in the same userform, so I decided to reduce the redundancy and place it in the initialization. Sometimes it works but i notice it would create error alert. If I place this code in the procedure of the error, it runs without any issues. Can someone explain why?

Thanks


Run-time error 91
Object Variable or With block variable not set

Set Wks = ActiveSheet

[SamT]

Whenever possible, avoid referring to any "Active" object

Set Wks = Sheets("Sheet1")

It is possible to have an open UserForm, with no active sheets

You don't need an Object variable for an object you can refer to directly.
Sheet1. in your code suffices.

I would not declare a variable for ActiveSheet.

If you want to declare a variable to be used by other procedures in the UserForm then place it at the top of the code module, not in any Procedure.

Option Explicit

Dim Wks As Worksheet

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set Wks = Sheet1
End Sub

Can you open your userform when there's different active sheets?

e.g.

If "Sheet1" is active then you want the UF to act on "Sheet1"

If "Sheet2" is active then you want the UF to act on "Sheet2"

etc.?
