Hi Again,

There are no passes taking place and the lines run one right after the
other. Which part of the 11 pages do you think would help?

Thanks,

Since these two lines of code function properly by themselves (outside of
your code), posting just these two lines doesn't provide enough information
for anyone to provide anything more than guesses. You don't have to post all
of your code, just sections that are more likely to be relevant (like the sub
that contains these two lines, and if you have any code in worksheet_change
event, etc.). You also don't mention what version of Excel you are using,
which (at least for some problems) might help narrow down possible causes.

FWIW, I ran this sample code on both 2003 and 2007, and it worked fine in
both, returning the expected offset value.

Sub test_offset_problem()
ActiveCell = Sheet1.Range("A1")
TotalValue = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Value
Debug.Print TotalValue
TargetTotal = ActiveCell.Offset(2, 2).Value
Debug.Print TargetTotal
End Sub

That would make sense...

People here are just trying to help you here. It's obviously abnormal
behaviour of your code and therefore there must be something in the
code.
Once again:
How are the
TotalValue
TargetTotal
dimensioned? (i.e. declared with Dim statment)

Hi Again,

"passing your variable (TotalValue) ByRef and not ByVal" this is not
happening anywhere. The code is very linear with out any calls or passes.

Neither variable is Dimentioned, there are no Dim statements.

Thanks,
