CoreldrawVBA Select multiple Objects by Name

Question

Guys I am new to VBA for Coreldraw and am searching for some help in selecting multiple objects by name

I have two objects 1 is a curve and one is a rectangle. I name them OBJ1 & OBJ 2 with the following Code

For Each s In sr.Shapes
    objName = s.Name
    objName = "OBJ1"
    If objName <> "" Then
    s.Name = objName
    End If
    Next s
For Each s In sr.Shapes
    objName = s.Name
    objName = "OBJ2"
    If objName <> "" Then
    s.Name = objName
    End If
    Next s

I Then have tried the following code to select the two objects which I need to do so I can then perform a trim

    Dim s as Shape
    ActiveDocument.ClearSelection
    Set s = ActivePage.FindShape(Name:="OBJ1")
    ActivePage.FindShape(Name:="OBJ2").AddToSelection
    s.CreateSelection

Problem is the result is that only OBJ1 is selected OBJ2 remains UN-selected

I'm sure its something stupid but would appreciate any help you could give

Thanks

Sub Test()

    CreateSelectionByNames Array("OBJ1", "OBJ2")

End Sub


Sub CreateSelectionByNames(aNames)

    Dim sName
    Dim shpRange As New ShapeRange

    For Each sName In aNames
        shpRange.Add ActivePage.FindShape(Name:=sName)
    Next
    shpRange.CreateSelection

End Sub
