Dear All,

probably a simple one

could someone tell me where i am going wrong with the following

Code:
'''lngcolumn is a long variable

wskAllocations.Columns(lngColumn & ":356").Delete    ''''''''''''''lngcolumn value is 6 in this instance

'get a run-time error '1004':
'Application-defined or object-defined error

thanks in advance

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
What version of Excel are you using that has 356 columns? Mine only has 256.
Anyway, try this:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]wskAllocations.[/COLOR]Range(Cells(1, lngcolumn), Cells(1, 256)).Delete
