I am trying to write a Macro that would select the Active Table in the Active Sheet in the Active Workbook for data stored in "C3:H9".
I know the following VBA references can be used: "Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ActiveCell" can be used to refer to the ActiveCell as mentioned in Link 1, and "ActiveSheet.ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Select" can be used to refer to the rectangular block of cells surrounded by one or more blank rows or columns as mentioned in Link 2, and "ActiveCell.ListObject.Name" can be used to refer to the active table as mentioned in Link 3.
My question then is: why does the below code not work for referring to the Active Table in the Active Sheet in the Active Workbook by using Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ActiveCell.ListObject.Name?

Sub Macro1()

Range("C3:H9").Select

Dim Table1 As ListObject
Set Table1 = ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Selection, , xlYes)

Range("C3").Select

Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ActiveCell.ListObject.Name.TableStyle = "TableStyleLight1"

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Not exactly sure what your wanting to do.
Try this if your trying to set the Table Style.
Not sure why you want to refer to
Range("C3:H9").Select

This script will set the style you want to the Table in the active cell range

Code:
Sub Get_Table_Name()
ans = ActiveCell.ListObject.Name
ActiveSheet.ListObjects(ans).TableStyle = "TableStyleLight1"
