I am trying to scroll through each row of a range and copying row to a new range that match a certain criteria.
If each row matches the union works correctly. If there is a row that does not match the criteria then then next row that does match does not get joined by the union command -- even though the correct path through the code is followed.

Can I emphasise - the code follows the correct path, there is no error message but rngTemp does not increase in size -- the extra row is not added. Make all rows in rngSource fit the criteria and then the Union works as expected.

Can anyone explain?

Code:
For Each wbSource In Workbooks
If wbSource.Name <> "PERSONAL.XLSB" Then
    If Not wbSource.Name = wbTarget.Name Then
        Set wsSource = wbSource.Worksheets("Risk Log")
        Set rngSource = wsSource.UsedRange
            For Each rngRow In rngSource.Rows
                If Left(rngRow.Cells(1, 2), 3) = "TS:" Then
                    If Not rngTemp Is Nothing Then
                        Set rngTemp = Union(rngTemp, rngRow) ' this is the problem row
                    Else
                        Set rngTemp = rngRow
                    End If 'temp range is empty
                End If 'a TS row
            Next 'row
    End If 'target worksheet
End If 'personal.xlsb
 
I think the Address property of a range is limited, and the length of a literal range string is limited, but you can union a range to include any number of cells

Thanks, you're absolutely right of course.

I didn't even think to check this, but should have twigged given there was no error message. The .Address is truncated, but the range is correct.

So add: r.Value = "Hello", for example, and it works perfectly.
