============Is ther a way to check selection before I sort a sheet, I need to do
it on the fly
thanks for replayingHi Yngve,

I am not sure that I have understood your
question, but
Activecell
returns the currently selected cell and
Selection
returns the selected range.
If the selected range is a single cell, Activecell
and will return the same cell.
T|herefore, adapt something like:
'==========>>
Public Sub Tester()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Set Rng = Selection
Set rCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Prompt:="Selected range = " _
& Selection.Address(External:=True) _
& vbNewLine & "Active cell = " _
& ActiveCell.Address(External:=True)
End Sub
'<<==========
However, a more interesting quesion
might be *why* you need to check the
selection; armed with that information,
it might well be possible to provide a
more useful response.

Hi Yngve,
It is usually unnecessary, and inefficient, to
make selections. More normally, a range
variable would be declared and the variable
would be used for subsequent manipulation.
So, for example, your sort code might
resemble:
'==========>>
Public Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim SH As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Set WB = Workbooks("myBook.xls")
Set SH = WB.Sheets("Sheet2")
Set Rng = SH.Range("A1:C20")
With Rng
.Sort Key1:=.Cells(1, 1), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Key2:=.Cells(1, 2), _
Order2:=xlAscending, _
Key3:=.Cells(1, 2), _
Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End With
End Sub

If, however, you do have an imperative
for the user to select a range, Gary's
Student has shown you how to return the
requisite range using the Application.InputBox
method.
If you are experiencing probleme in
implementing either suggestion, post back
with the specific problems encountered.

I need to do the cheek to bee sure that the user has select proper

Hi Yngve,
When you say:
============
Somtimes end user select wrong Range("A5:F100"), it shuld have been
Range("A5:H100") and when hi start sorting, the sorting will end up
wrong, information in Range("H..) will not bee sorted.
This is way I need to check selection before starting sorting the
sheet.
===========
How does the user select the "wrong" range?
If *you*, the developer, know the correct
range, why involve the user at all?
If, however, the range to be sorted *must*
be selected by the user, how do you know
that the user has selected a wrong range?
Perhaps it would be best if you were to
explain:
- what you wish to sort
- why you wish to sort
- when you wish to sort

If I could combine the prosedyre with Worksheet.Selection.Chang Event
it wold bee super.
