Hi Everyone,

Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I've tried checking trust settings, etc. on other people's computers, they're set to allow macros. I'm getting run-time error 438 when i run this code on other's computers. Any idea why? I red fonted/underlined the line of code that the debugger is highlighting too.

Thanks so much in advance for any help!
Code:

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
When posting code please use code tags, the # icon in the reply window.

As to your problem, change .Add2 to .Add
You will need to do that for every instance of Add2

Hi,
I'm also having this issue & the tip to replace ".add2" with ".add" worked...

Until I emailed it to a client (who uses Excel 2013) & the macro appears to have "regenerated" with the ".add2" as, when he tries to run the macro, he gets a runtime error & the same lines (with the ".add2") highlighted as shown on the original post.

So between my laptop, Outlook & his computer, it would appear that Excel is adding the "2"... frustrating to say the least.

So maybe I need to find a different way to sort a table!

Excel will not alter the code between versions, so something else must be going on.

Yup, that's my thoughts... however, with the evidence before my eyes... :)

So, instead of using the code generated by the Macro recorder, I've actually researched some "proper" code & that seems to have done the trick (and it's a gazillion lines shorter, too!!)
