VBA: 'Runtime scenarios 424: Object Required' when referencing named ranges from another workbook
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm currently developing a VBA macro in Excel 2016 that needs to extract data from a named range in another workbook. However, I keep working with a 'Runtime behavior 424: Object Required' when trying to access the named range. Here’s the relevant snippet of my code: ```vba Sub ExtractDataFromNamedRange() Dim sourceWB As Workbook Dim targetWB As Workbook Dim myRange As Range ' Open the source workbook Set sourceWB = Workbooks.Open("C:\path\to\your\sourceWorkbook.xlsx") Set targetWB = ThisWorkbook ' Attempt to reference the named range Set myRange = sourceWB.Names("MyNamedRange").RefersToRange ' Copy data to the target workbook myRange.Copy targetWB.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") ' Clean up sourceWB.Close SaveChanges:=False End Sub ``` I've verified that the named range 'MyNamedRange' exists in the source workbook and I'm opening the workbook correctly. The behavior occurs specifically on the line where I attempt to set `myRange`. I've also tried using the workbook object to reference the named range directly: ```vba Set myRange = sourceWB.Worksheets("SheetName").Range("MyNamedRange") ``` But this doesn’t work either, and it throws the same runtime behavior. I even checked if the workbook is properly opened (it is) and that the named range is indeed defined. Is there an edge case or a common scenario with referencing named ranges across workbooks that I might be missing? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be appreciated! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. Any ideas what could be causing this? What would be the recommended way to handle this?
