Юрий я не рунописец но пока начинаю это читать 1004 Ошибка, определенная приложением или объектом. Довольно распространенное универсальное сообщение об ошибке. Данная ошибка возникает тогда, когда ошибка генерируется не в VBA. Другими словами, ошибка определяется в Excel (или в другом объекте) и передается в VBA. Также эта ситуация возникает в случае если ошибка генерируется специально (для этого используется метод Raise объекта Err), но она не определена в VBA Прикладывайте примеры Лень двигатель прогресса, доказано!!!

	Сергей, пример приложить не могу, так как там у меня вся рабочая база. Пробовал вынести это дело в отдельный файл, но ошибка не возникает, походу это конфликт макросов. У меня вопрос в какую сторону хотя бы копать.

Лучше разбить первую проверку на две, чтобы сначала шла быстрая операция сравнения имени, а потом громоздкий Intersect: Код If Sh.Name = "База" Then   If Not Intersect(Target, Sh.Columns(3)) Is Nothing Then

This VBA Run Time Error 1004 in Excel mainly occurs at the time of renaming the sheet.

If a worksheet with the same name already exists but still you are assigning that name to some other worksheet. In that case, VBA will throw the run time error 1004 along with the message: “The Name is Already Taken. Try a different one.”

Solution: You can fix this error code by renaming your Excel sheet.

#2 – VBA Run Time Error 1004: Method “Range” of object’ _ Global’ failed

This VBA error code mainly occurs when someone tries to access the object range with wrong spelling or which doesn’t exist in the worksheet.

Suppose, you have named the cells range as “Headings,” but if you incorrectly mention the named range then obviously you will get the Run Time Error 1004: Method “Range” of object’ _ Global’ failed error.

Solution: So before running the code properly check the name of the range.

# 3 – VBA Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed

This error code occurs when someone tries to choose the cells from a non-active sheet.

 Let’s understand with this an example:

Suppose you have selected cells from A1 to A5 from the Sheet1 worksheet. Whereas, your present active worksheet is Sheet2.

At that time it’s obvious to encounter Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed.

Solution: To fix this, you need to activate the worksheet before selecting cells of it.

#5 – VBA Runtime Error 1004 Method Sorry We Couldn’t Find:

The main reason behind the occurrence of this VBA error in Excel is due to renaming, shifting, or deletion of the mentioned path.

The reason behind this can be the wrong assigned path or file name with extension.

When your assigned code fails to fetch a file within your mentioned folder path. Then you will definitely get the runtime Error 1004 method. Sorry, and We couldn’t find it.

Solution: make a proper check across the given path or file name.

#6 – VBA Runtime Error 1004 Activate method range class failed

Behind this error, the reason can be activating the cells range without activating the Excel worksheet.

This specific error is quite very similar to the one which we have already discussed above i.e Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed.
