Shape Range

[kuhrty]

Below is a subroutine that passes in 2 variables. I am concerned with
the word "Selection" used for ShapeRange and would prefer to eliminate
it. All my attemptes have resulted in errors. I want qualify the
code to prevent error.

Is selection a keyword for ShapeRange or is there a way to qualify it?

Thanks in advance.

Public Sub CountryColor(ByVal strCountry As String, _
ByVal dColor As Double)

Dim shtMap As Worksheet, rgData As Range, strShapeNum As String
Dim i As Integer, dColor1 As Double

Set shtMap =
ThisWorkbook.Application.ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Map")
Set rgData =
ThisWorkbook.Application.ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data").Range("RegionCountryData")

On Error Resume Next
shtMap.Select

For i = 1 To rgData.Rows.Count

strShapeNum = rgData.Cells(i, 3).Value

shtMap.Shapes(strShapeNum).Select

'This is my issue"
With Selection.ShapeRange
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = dColor
.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
.Fill.Solid
End With

Next i

End Sub

'Does this not work?

With shtMap.Shapes(strShapeNum).ShapeRange
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = dColor
.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
.Fill.Solid
End With

Luke,

Thank you for your input, when I attempt to qualify that way, the code
does run but the shapes don't fill with the color passed. I would
have assumed it is the correct way to code it but with an unexpected
result.

Thanks again for your response.

The next thing I would try is looping through the shapes in the shape
range, and apply the formatting to one shape at a time.
