Hi there,

I'm baffled by a seemingly trivial problem in VBA, maybe I didn't define something? I was hoping ya'll can help shed light on this. :)

Basically, this code works:
Code:
Dim roster As Worksheet
With ThisWorkbook
        Set roster = .Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count))
        roster.Name = "Day shift"
End With
roster.Range("A1") = some value

But this code doesn't work?

Code:
Dim roster As Worksheet
With ThisWorkbook
        Set roster = .Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count))
        roster.Name = "Day shift"
End With
roster.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, 2)) = some value

It says runtime error 1004.

Am I missing something?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You need to fully qualify the range like
Code:
roster.Range(roster.Cells(1, 1), roster.Cells(1, 2)) = some value
or
Code:
With roster
    .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, 2)) = some value
End With

Worked like a charm. :) :)

Thanks Fluff! Merry Christmas!
