Basic Q here, but having trouble finding best answer. This is simple macro I have on a sheet titled "NXT":

Code:
Sub CPHC_nxt_CB()
    Range(Range("CB_wipe_area").value).ClearContents
    Range("CB_formgrab").Copy
    Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).Copy
    Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

CB_wipe_area and CB_paste_area are dynamic ranges that are defined in named cells on that sheet ("nxt"), and are currently:
CB_wipe_area: V4:AC999
CB_paste_area: V4:AC534

The code is fine when run from the NXT sheet but I want to run this code from a different sheet (named "main"). I have a macro I run from the "main" sheet that includes this:

Code:
My_Macro()
    Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

[B]    With Sheets("nxt")[/B]
[B]        Call CPHC_nxt_CB[/B]
[B]    End With[/B]

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

The problem is that when I run it (from the MAIN sheet), it clears those ranges (V4:AC999 and V4:AC534) on the MAIN sheet, not on the NXT sheet. What's the correct way to tell Excel "I want you to run this Macro on that other sheet but understand that the ranges apply to THAT sheet, not this one?"

Change the code to explicitly refer to that sheet:

Code:
Sub CPHC_nxt_CB()
With Sheets("nxt")
    .Range(Range("CB_wipe_area").value).ClearContents
    .Range("CB_formgrab").Copy
    .Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    .Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).Copy
    .Range(Range("CB_paste_area").value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
