So if you're wanting to select the cell again:

Cells(rw, cl).Select

No, it gets superceded by Range("c2").Select

Isn't the cell in error already selected?

I have a program which reads data into columns C-H. The number of rows
varies from case to case.
I want the user to select a starting cell from the dat in column C
I have the following which seesms clumsy but works:

rw = ActiveCell.Row
cl = ActiveCell.Column
Range("c2").Select
lastrow = Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Cells.Count + 1
If rw < 2 Or rw lastrow - 1 Then
MsgBox "Start cell outside data range"
Exit Sub
End If
If cl < 3 Then
MsgBox " Start cell in wrong column"
Exit Sub
End If

Before exiting the sub with an error, I would like to reset the active
cell
to the (incorrect) cell the user selected.

Can someone tell me how to do this please? Or suggest a better way?
Thanks
Chris
