Hi
If I want to change a cell value then I can write this code

Code:
sub abc[INDENT]thisworkbook.activesheet.cells(1,1).value =10[/INDENT]
end sub

but I can also do that by writing this code
Code:
sub abc[INDENT]cells(1,1).value =10[/INDENT]
end sub

I see both give the same result. I do not see any advantage of one on another except the second one is easier to type. Which one is the right one? is there any cases I can only use one over the other? thank you so much

If you are working in more than one workbook or worksheets, then you may wish to use the first variation. For most situations, the second scenario should work for you.
