I have a ? Can you run an electric dryer on a 220 volt line for and electric range (STOVE)? I hope this makes sence.

You'd have to make sure the range line's amperage was at the same level as what the dryer requires. Most electric dryers require 30 amp circuits as do some electric ranges, but some electric ranges need 50 amp lines. Depending on the wiring and electric codes, it may be a matter of replacing the existing circuit breaker with one of lesser capacity, depending on what's in there now.

Yea, what AndrewinOrlando says,
Plus, you will have to change the pigtale on your dryer. Most range and dryers used a different plug.

The circuit for the range is a 40 amp, the dryer states on the name plate its 24 amp, 40 amps would be to high ?

If something went wrong with the dryer, a short circuit, overload of some ilk, etc., a 40 amp breaker would allow too much current to flow before it tripped, not as much as a 50 amp, but still more than should be allowed. The breaker should be changed to a 30 amp.
