SYMPTOMS

When you use a RefEdit control on a UserForm in a Microsoft Binder document, you are unable to select an area on the worksheet so that the address of the selection fills the RefEdit control.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Activate the section that contains the worksheet.
  2. Click View Outside on the Section menu.

    The worksheet appears in an Excel window.
  3. Switch to the Visual Basic Editor and press F5 to run the UserForm.
  4. Select cells on the worksheet while the UserForm is displayed.

    Notice that the address of the selection now fills the RefEdit control when Excel is viewed outside of the binder document.
  5. Click Close and Return to Binder on the File menu in Excel.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
