Greetings,

What is the best way to reference a cell in a worksheet from within an Excel Macro?

Specifically, I need my Excel Macro to pull the value from cell "B9" from within the "Admin" worksheet. I have tried using the following, but this generates an error:
lcFileNameDataGL = Admin!B9
This formula works if I am referencing a cell from within another cell, but it does not work within the Macro.

I should mention that this Macro works perfectly. And I realize that I could easily edit the Macro, but since this Excel workbook will be used by non-techy people, I need them to be able to change the folder location within a worksheet (I do NOT want them messing around with the Macro).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
 


hi,

VBA questions are best addressed in forum707.
Code:
lcFileNameDataGL = sheets("Admin").Range("B9").value

Hi Skip,

Thank you for directing me to the correct forum, and for answering my question. I will try out your suggestion, but I'm sure it will work perfectly.

Thanks,
Dave
