Set r2 = wsCmp.Range(Lx & "18:" & Lx & "23")

but that didn't work, because Lx is an integer, not a letter. (i
realize i can turn Lx into a string, but i want to see how you make it
work this way.)

after searching the newsgroup, i tried

With wsCmp
Set r1 = .Range(.Cells(7, Lx) & .Cells(12, Lx))
Set r2 = .Range(.Cells(18, Lx) & .Cells(23, Lx))
End With

but that won't work, either.
i also tried
Set r1 = .Range(.Range(.Cells(7,Lx) & .Cells(12,Lx))))
but no dice, there, either.

i'm getting a run-time 1004 error

can somebody please correct whatever syntax error i've got going on?
thank you very much!
susan

Try:

Set r1 = wsCmp.Range(Cells(7, Lx), Cells(12, Lx))
Set r2 = wsCmp.Range(Cells(18, Lx),Cells(23, Lx))

Susan,

I think you almost had it at the end there. Give this a try:

With wsCmp
Set r1 = .Range(.Cells(7, Lx) , .Cells(12, Lx))
Set r2 = .Range(.Cells(18, Lx), .Cells(23, Lx))
End With

If you pass two range objects to Range, it's like manually typing in the
absolute address. In other words Range("A1","B2") is the same as
Range("A1:B2"). Hope this helps.

That will raise an error if wsCmp isn't the active sheet and if it is, then
you don't need to qualify. If you qualify one, you should qualify all (or
use With as she was already doing).

tom - yes, wsCmp is the active sheet. but this is just the first
round of range-setting. then there's another round on wsRpt before
actually transferring stuff. but i see what you mean, since this is a
private worksheet sub, then i shouldn't have to qualify which range
i'm setting if it's already on this worksheet. (can i do it anyway,
just for my own sake of mind? (using the with-end with))

cory - changing the "&" to a "," worked fine (using the with).

thank you both!

I think you missed the point.

First, I don't like preaching, so don't consider this preaching - merely my
option provided for illumination/consideration.

Given the specific situation you described,

It is always best to qualify all range references. Using With is certainly
an excellent approach to do this as you attempted and Cory showed. It is a
huge waste of time and an invitation for errors to partially qualify range
references such as suggested by JLGWhiz (which I am sure was just an
oversight while focusing on the real problem).
1) if on the active sheet or refers to ranges on the sheet associate
with the sheet module containing the code, it is unnecessary although it will
work - thus it is a waste of time and resources (although fully qualifying is
not a waste of time or resources but an attempt a robustness and clarity).
2) if it isn't on the active sheet or it is on the active sheet, but the
code is in a sheet module that won't be the activesheet, then it can and
probably will lead to errors and will be a point of consternation to the
programmer (or for people who inherit the code). (And if they knew the
difference probably wouldn't do it in the first place, so they won't
understand why they have the error - many post in this forum).

My opinion of course.

i am trying hard to learn to qualify all ranges, all the time, as you
described.

while qualifying sheet code ranges may be a waste of time & effort (to
some), i heartily agree with you that

a) it's a good habit to be in
b) ultimately it leads to better readability
c) is easier to debug

thanks for your opinions! the code works great now!
