    Run Time Error 9 - Subscript out of range

    Hi,

    I am new to VBA and I am experimenting with Excel Macros. I want to copy a cell value from another sheet to my sheet.
    The sheet Random.xlsx has the value that I need to copy to my current sheet. I have written the following code:

    Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
        Dim wb1 As Workbook
        Set wb1 = Workbooks("Random.xlsx")
        Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\Excel\Random.xlsx"
        Range("E5").Value = wb1.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Value
    End Sub
    But I am getting the runtime error 9 - subscript out of range.

    Now this issue has been handled on the forum before but I still can't make head or tail of it.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Kush

    Re: Run Time Error 9 - Subscript out of range

    That error message typically means: "Excel cannot find a named object". In your macro you seem to be "setting" the wb1 object before you've opened it, that would cause this problem.


    Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
        Dim wb1 As Workbook
    
        Set wb1 = Workbooks.Open("D:\Excel\Random.xlsx")
        Range("E5").Value = wb1.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Value
        wb1.Close False
    
    End Sub
