    Range as Parameter in Function Declaration

    A simple question that google yields no assistance on.

    I have a formula that hides rows within a range for a sheet.

    Sub HideRows(RStart As Range, REnd As Range)
       Range(RStart, REnd).Select
       'Code to Hide Rows, does not matter
       ...
    End Sub

    I am clearly doing something wrong because I am having troubling calling the function.

    For instance Call HideRows("A1", "A20) does not work

    Also, changing the HideRows formula to have one parameter does not work for me

    Sub HideRows(RStart As Range)
       Range(RStart).Select
       'Code to Hide Rows, does not matter
       ...
    End Sub
    
    Call HideRows("A1:A20")
    Any guidance would be appreciated as I am not sure how to use parameters

    Hello HotSoup,

    If you post your workbook for review, I'll find the problem for you. It will be faster than posting back and forth.
    Sincerely,

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    You are not passing a range when you call it, you are passing an address:
    Call HideRows(Range("A1:A20"))
