The first code line  Option Explicit means  in simple terms  that all of your variables have to be explicitly declared by Dim statements  They can be any type  including object  integer  string  or even a variant   This line  Dim envFrmwrkPath As Range is declaring the variable envFrmwrkPath of type Range   This means that you can only set it to a range     This line  Set envFrmwrkPath   ActiveSheet Range  D6   Value is attempting to set the Range type variable to a specific Value that is in cell D6   This could be a integer or a string for example  depends on what you have in that cell  but it s not a range   I m assuming you want the value stored in a variable  Try something like this   Dim MyVariableName As Integer MyVariableName   ActiveSheet Range  D6   Value   This assumes you have a number  like 5  in cell D6   Now your variable will have the value   For simplicity sake of learning  you can remove or comment out the Option Explicit line and VBA will try to determine the type of variables at run time     Try this to get through this part of your code  Dim envFrmwrkPath As String Dim ApplicationName As String Dim TestIterationName As String

You have two options   -If you want the value   Dim MyValue as Variant   or string date long     MyValue   ThisWorkbook Sheets 1  Range  A1   Value   -if you want the cell object   Dim oCell as Range    or object  but then you ll miss out on intellisense   and both can also contain more than one cell  Set oCell   ThisWorkbook Sheets 1  Range  A1

Simply remove the  value from your code   Set envFrmwrkPath   ActiveSheet Range  D6   Value   instead of this  use    Set envFrmwrkPath   ActiveSheet Range  D6
