Sorting Issue

[Guest]

I am trying to sort three seperate arrays using the following code:

'Overhead broken down by site
'Denver
OVHsite.Range("E4").Copy
DataWks.Range("J28").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Coastal
OVHsite.Range("O4").Copy
DataWks.Range("K28").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Orem
OVHsite.Range("J4").Copy
DataWks.Range("L28").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Overhead broken down by exception
'Denver
OVHsite.Range("D713").Copy
DataWks.Range("N4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Coastal
OVHsite.Range("N7:N13").Copy
DataWks.Range("P4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Orem
OVHsite.Range("I7:I13").Copy
DataWks.Range("R4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'Sort Ovh
DataWks.Range("N4:O10").sort Key1:=Range("N4"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
DataWks.Range("P4:Q10").sort Key1:=Range("P4"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
DataWks.Range("R4:S10").sort Key1:=Range("R4"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

I am receiving the following error:

Run-time error '1004':
The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you
want to sort, and the first Sort By box isn't the same or blank.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appriciated....Thanks!

No good Jim. I need to know how to select the worksheet or better yet, a
better explanation to a novice coder. Thanks.

The answer I posted on the 13th was...
"My guess is that the DataWks sheet is not the active sheet.
The Key1 ranges all refer to the active sheet."

Which means you could select the sheet before running the sort code ...
DataWks.Select

- or even better -

prefix "range" with DataWks. in three places ...

Key1:=DataWks.Range("N4"),
Key1:=DataWks.Range("P4")
Key1:=DataWks.Range("R4")

Informative reading here ...
