Need help.
I have read previous posts here about explicitly naming Excel objects, but
still the following code will not work. The code is a well tried and tested
one with one new modification, the Sort Column line. Without that line it
works well. I need to be able to sort the worksheet, and this line is tested
in Excel and work as desired there. Error is 1004, asking to use single
quotes when using the equal sign. I don't know what to do.
