Using Variable to define a range

The following code is generating an application defined/object defined error
in the Set Range2 and Set Range3 lines.
I have verified n = 71 and m = 13 (row numbers) on the first execution of the code.
The syntax seems to be the same as in the Set Range1 line. Can you identify the problem?
Thanks very much, Kerry

n = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("T8") ' last row for additions
m = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("U8") + 1 ' first row for additions

' Resort = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MEMBERS").Range("U10") ' checks if previous sort

' Copy names
Set Range1 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MEMBERS").Range(Cells(m, 21), Cells(n, 21))
Set Range2 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("PREORDER").Range(Cells(m, 5), Cells(n, 5))
Set Range3 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Member Purchases").Range(Cells(m, 5), Cells(n, 5))

Range1.Copy
Range2.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
Range3.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
you are trying the identify a range in this block of cade, when you only need a ROW identifier

Code:
Range(Cells(m, 21), Cells(n, 21))

trying changing this

Code:
n = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("T8") ' last row for additions
m = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("U8") + 1 ' first row for additions

to

Code:
n = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").rows("8:8") ' last row for additions
m = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").rows("9:9") ' first row for additions

I think your issue is that you haven't qualified your Cells with the worksheet, try...

Code:
    n = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("T8")    ' last row for additions
    m = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("U8") + 1    ' first row for additions

    ' Resort = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MEMBERS").Range("U10") ' checks if previous sort

    ' Copy names
    With Worksheets("MEMBERS")
        Set Range1 = .Range(.Cells(m, 21), .Cells(n, 21))
    End With
    With Worksheets("PREORDER")
        Set Range2 = .Range(.Cells(m, 5), .Cells(n, 5))
    End With
    With Worksheets("Member Purchases")
        Set Range3 = .Range(.Cells(m, 5), .Cells(n, 5))
    End With

or you could just do the below if the paste is all that you are using Range1 and Range2 for.

Code:
    n = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("T8")    ' last row for additions
    m = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MEMBERS").Range("U8") + 1    ' first row for additions

    ' Resort = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MEMBERS").Range("U10") ' checks if previous sort

    ' Copy names
    With Worksheets("MEMBERS")
        Set Range1 = .Range(.Cells(m, 21), .Cells(n, 21))
    End With

    Set Range2 = Worksheets("PREORDER").Cells(m, 5)
    Set Range3 = Worksheets("Member Purchases").Cells(m, 5)

    Range1.Copy
    Range2.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
    Range3.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
