I keep getting Error 5 when trying to run my code. It seems to be this line that it has a problem with but I have no idea why:
Code:
number = Worksheets("Front").Cells("C10").Value

I have declared number as an integer.

Any ideas?!

Hi GiANTOnFire, welcome to the boards.

If you are going to use "Cells" then C10 would be Cells(10,3) , not Cells("C10").

I think you probably mean:

Code:
number = Worksheets("Front").Range("C10").Value

Or

Code:
number = Worksheets("Front").Cells(10,3).Value

Ah yes! of course - that comes of staring too much at code, and teaching yourself VBA, probably badly... Thank you!
