excel - Select method of Range class failed via VBA

Question

This is the code that I'm currently working with, and I'm getting this problem. I'm novice at Excel and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Private Sub cmdRecord_Click()
Sheets("BxWsn Simulation").Range("Result").Select //This is the line with the problem, as excel told me.
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Reslt Record").Select
    Sheets("Reslt Record").Range("A5000").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats, Operation:= _
        xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Sheets("CuCon Simulator").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("Improvement").Select
End Sub

The error is Select method of Range class failed via VBA, Error 1004. Any ideas?

ETA:

So I just changed the code to

Sheets("BxWsn Simulation").Select
Range("Result").Select

I believe this is what you mean by making it active?

However I'm still getting Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed, error 1004.

Answer 1

I believe you are having the same problem here.
The sheet must be active before you can select a range on it.

Also, don't omit the sheet name qualifier:

Sheets("BxWsn Simulation").Select
Sheets("BxWsn Simulation").Range("Result").Select

Or,

With Sheets("BxWsn Simulation")
  .Select
  .Range("Result").Select
End WIth

which is the same.
