Default Macro to select multiple columns

Maybe it's time to learn about UserForms.

Check Debra Dalgleish's site:

and these articles by Peter Aiken:

@ Gord Ribbon: do I understand your solution right that after calling
the macro the user has to click on the column that has to be added to
the selection? Instead of typing in the column letter?

@ Dave Peterson: With my and Gord Ribbon's solution I'm able to select
what I want. But there's still a problem with the inputbox. Most
preferrable I would like the user to be prompted a combobox or
listbox. Then select a name that is found the column that has to be
added to the selection. And let the application go to that cell, so
the activecell is in the column I want to add to the selection. In
this way I can use my solution above.

Another possibility is the let the user type in the letter of the
column (like K or L).
