Retrieving cell value for VBA formula

I have a formula in my VBA script and I'm trying to retrieve a cell value to use in the formula. So instead of "2 * 10" I want the 10 to come from a cell.

I'm trying the following and it doesn't work.

2 * Application.Value(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Control").Range("D2"))

I'm assuming that the ".value" is where my error is. Note: this is not part of the active worksheet. How do I pull in the value from worksheet "control" cell "D2"?

Thanks

.... = 2 * Sheets("Control").Range("D2").Value

Regards, TMS

Try:

Sub dural()
    Dim V As Long
    V = Sheets("Control").Range("D2").Value
    MsgBox 2 * V
End Sub

You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.
