Excel 2010 - Error: Cannot run the macro SelectCell using .onAction

Question

I have been looking all over the internet for a solution to this problem but for some reason I can never find anything directly related to using .onAction with selecting a speci

Answer 1

This (both subs in a regular module) works for me.

Sub SelectCell(sht As String, rng As String)
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets(sht).Range(rng).Select
End Sub

Sub Assign()
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).OnAction = "'SelectCell """ & _
            Selection.Parent.Name & """, """ & _
            Selection.Address() & """'"
End Sub

If SelectCell is in a sheet code module, then you need to include the sheet code name:

Sub Assign()
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).OnAction = "'Sheet1.SelectCell """ & _
            Selection.Parent.Name & """, """ & _
            Selection.Address() & """'"
End Sub

If I'm reading this right, "SelectCell" is a macro name, and you're passing in "Sheet 1","$C$10" as parameters (as strings). Whenever you make a call on the right side of an assignment operator (equals sign) the parameters need to be passed in with parenthases. for example,

.OnAction = "SelectCell "Sheet 1","$C$10""

is wrong, and

.OnAction = "SelectCell ("Sheet 1","$C$10")"

is right.

Try that, but there's not much I can go off without much code. You could also try to use the fully qualified macro name, in case the Macro is in another module.
