Re: referencing ranges using R1C1 format

There are even potential problems with this--depending on where the code is:

I put this in the module for Sheet1:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim baseRng As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set baseRng = Worksheets("sheet2").Range("A1")
Set rng = Range(baseRng(1, 1), baseRng(2, 2))
End Sub

I got an error with that last "set rng = Range(baseRng(1, 1), baseRng(2, 2))"
statement.

If I changed it to:
Set rng = Application.Range(baseRng(1, 1), baseRng(2, 2))

It worked fine.

I bet it's because that unqualified range() is still looking at the *** that
owns the code.
