Range problems...

The problem is that you're not properly using the Range data type and
the Set keyword. If you use MyRange as a Range object, it's only going
to apply to the specific sheet and range you used when you set it
(ActiveSheet by default). To generalize the range for all sheets,
there are (at least) two ways to do it:

First:
---------------
Dim MyRange as String

MyRange = "B19:I26"
Worksheet(<Whatever>).Range(MyRange).Select
---------------

Second:
---------------
Dim MyRange as Range

Set MyRange = Range("B19:I26")
Worksheet(<Whatever>).Range(MyRange.Address).Select
---------------

The first is probably best because you save a little memory (especially
if it's in a loop).

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

A few other points:

If you are talking about the active worksheet, you can just do Range().Select

Unless you need to re-use your range address, you can specify it directly,
e.g. Range("B19:I26").Select.

Finally, you will not be able to use Range.Select on a sheet if it is not
active; if ot talking about the active sheet, before you select you need to
activate the sheet, e.g.:
Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B19:I26").Select
