I'm new to VBA so be gentle.
This just started happening today.
Whenever I select a preexisting command button to a macro, I get an error window listing the range as "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"
What can I do now?

Code:
Sub clearswitchboard()
     Sheets("general.switchboard").Select
    RANGE("R57:AR155").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    RANGE("af51").Select
End Sub

Excel Facts

Excel motto
Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
I had to go back to a file copy I made a few days ago that didn't have this error showing up, now I'm in the process of updating that old copy at same time comparing it to the one that's shows error. I'm retired and this program is for myself and a learning one too, so got plenty of time and no big headache
Thank goodness I saveas a new copy every day for times like this.
Thanks to everyone for help.

As I said on Chandoo (which you have seemingly ignored) check that you don't have any procedures or variables called "Range"

I too am retired and have plenty of time as well, but not enough patience (I am trying to be gentle) to be ignored.

That said... Good luck!
