Hi,

Can anyone spot the error in the following code snippet?

What I want to do is insert a row in a particular place in
a group of sheets - this works from the keyboard but not
from this code:
<<<<<->>>>>
Dim sWard, sSheetName, sAddress, sFormula As String
Dim iAnswer, iWardTotalRow As Integer

' Where are we?
sSheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
sAddress = ActiveCell.Address

' Get the name of the new ward
Do
Beep
sWard = InputBox("Enter name of new Ward or 'Q' to
quit", "New Ward")
Loop Until Len(sWard) > 0
If UCase(sWard) = "Q" Then
iAnswer = MsgBox("Operation cancelled", vbOKOnly)
Exit Sub
End If

Sheets(Array("ACCESS", "GCSE", "TIM
GILBERT", "ART", "BASIC EDUCATION", "Non ESOL", _
"ESOL", "COMM & PROF", "COM LEARN NET", "FAMILY
LEARNING", "FOOD & FLORISTRY", _
"HEALTH &
FITNESS", "ICT", "LANGUAGES", "TEXTILES", "WEFA", "CORPORAT
E")).Select
Sheets(sSheetName).Activate
Range(sAddress).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
<<<<<->>>>>

All it does is insert a row in the active sheet.

Thanks for your help.

For Group mode actions to affect all sheets they have to be done via the
keyboard. So in a macro you'd have to do each sheet individually.

Many people think that the above creates 4 string variables. It actually
creates 3 variants and 1 string. Unlike C and some other languages, each
variable has to be individually declared as a type:

Dim sWard as String, sSheetName as String, sAddress as String, sFormula As
String
 
Hi Fred,
For grouped sheet use activewindow & selectedsheets
property. See more details in VBA help. So try this.

Replace your line
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
with below code.

dim sht as worksheet
For Each sht In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
sht.Range(sAddress).EntireRow.Insert
Next sht
