Hi,
I assume you are referring to VBA.
VBA can't select a cell or range on a sheet which isn't active.
You have to activate the sheet, then select the range:
Sheets("A").Activate
Range("A1").Select
However, most of the time you don't have to select the cell or range you want
to work on.
For example, the following 2 codes snippets both turn A1 on sheet A, red:
Sheets("A").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Sheets("A").Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
It's also quicker not to select the cell you want to work on.
This is quite different to the way the macro recorder works.
Hope this helps.
Regards - Dave.
