In the snippet of code below, what would I have to do to change the way I reference the active cell?


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) '_Change  creates the variable as a target, transferred as a value to "ProjectName"
    Dim ans As Integer


[B][COLOR=#ff0000]    If Target.Column = 2 And Target.Row > 1 And Target.Value = "" Then [/COLOR][/B]
How can I change the red to this?
Code:
[COLOR=#008000]    If Worksheets("Projects").Range("Records[OPPORTUNITY]") And Worksheets("Projects").Target.Row > 1 And Target.Value = "" Then[/COLOR]
 
A few questions about your code:
  • Do I still need the
    Code:
    ByVal Target As Range
    ?
If there is no Target, isn't this useless?
Yes you do. There is still a Target, it just doesn't have a 'Value' if there are multiple cells in it. Target is still used in the code

Rich (BB code):
Set Changed = Intersect(Target, Columns(2), Rows("2:" & Rows.Count))


  • Is there some way this sub could have done the same thing without the
    Code:
    _Change
    ?
Yes, but then the code wouldn't automatically fire as soon as you deleted something from column B. You would have to run the macro yourself somehow,

The code is working for me & I have been unable to reproduce that error in my workbook.

Are you using the code exactly as from post 9 or have you modified it or combined it with other code?

Can you describe exactly what you did in your worksheet that triggered the code to produce the error?
