    Question IntelliSense Doesn't Assist with All Objects

    Hi,

    When I type "Range." IntelliSense will bring up the list of possible properties/actions. However, whenever I type anything referencing sheets or the workbook, i.e. "ActiveSheet.", it does nothing. I've gone to Tools>Options and I can't find anything on IntelliSense, but all of the options are turned on. I tried using the help function but it just gave me the legal jargon about how IntelliSense is theirs. Any help?

    Application: Microsoft Office Excel, 2007, Visual Basic Editor.


    Thanks in advance!

    Use the actual object name or set a worksheet object reference.

    ActiveSheet could be a worksheet, a chart sheet, a dialog sheet.

    The option for Intellisense is actually called Auto List Members and is on the first page under Tools>Options...

    Thanks for the name correction on what it's called.

    I was hoping to fix it since it used to work. Not exactly a fan of leaving a part broken. Most of my sheets are declared as objects, but this part involves reviewing data to determine if the data needs to be modified for pivot tables, which first copies said sheet and then modifies copy. I'm trying to minimize my objects since I'm at ~50... working on reducing it >.> Is there a possible cause or reason why "ActiveSheet" stopped auto listing members?

    activesheet returns a generic Object because it could be different types of sheet as Norie said and that is why you get no intellisense-it's not broken ;-)

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to

    You could 'fix' things by not using ActiveSheet and declaring with the right types, eg Worksheet, Range etc, and not Object.
