Select referenced range from non-active table via VBA in Excel

Question

Given a certain range rngRange eg set rngRange = Workbooks(2).Worksheets(5).Range("C4:P49") If I use rngRange.select it will throw an error message if the table containing the range is not the active window/workbook/table (eg by wbWorkbook.Activate and wsWorsheet.Activate ). Using rngRange.Activate by itself doesn't work (throws an error), probable a simple problem. But somehow I'm blind today.

Is it possible to "activate" the range directly without activating the workbook/worksheet first? And if not, can I get a workbook/worksheet reference from the range reference somehow (note, the whole thing is inside a function that only gets the range reference, I would like to avoid to add a wbWorkbook/worksheet reference since I have to change all function calls as well)?

Answer 1

rngRange.Parent 'gives you the sheet
rngRange.Parent.Parent 'gives you the workbook

So you can use them to .Activate them.

rngRange.Parent.Parent.Activate
rngRange.Parent.Activate
rngRange.Select

Alternatively as @Viktor mentioned:

Application.Goto rngRange
