Matt responded via email instead of posting here. He said: If I select a range of cells then the suggested code in the immediate window returns type Range. When I select the same range of cells when asked for a chart range via the input box, then run the immediates window on ? typename(myDataRange) the type of myDataRange returns type Nothing, hence I get spat out at 'If myDataRange is Nothing Then Exit Sub'. If I accept the default data range then I get spat out on the 'If myChtRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub' as this input box again returns type nothing. I have just changed PCs (supposedly within the same standard operating environment) - are there any VBA references that should be set by default? Matt - After the Set MyDataRange = statement, insert this code:

MsgBox "MyDataRange is type " & TypeName(MyDataRange" _
    & vbNewLine & "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description

Similarly, after the Set MyChtRange = statement, insert this code:

MsgBox "MyDataRange is type " & TypeName(MyChtRange" _
    & vbNewLine & "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description

Then rerun the code, once accepting the default data range, once setting your own, and email me screen shots of the message boxes.

When you get this error, go to the VB Editor, open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), type in

?typename(selection)

then press Enter and see what the response is. If that doesn’t help, step through the code and see where you are ejected from execution.

I have just started running into a problem where a selected range is not recognised as a range and so I get spat out on through the isrange…exit sub checks (2003, XP sp2). Has anyone else had this occur and know a solution?

Thanks
Matt
