rw = ActiveCell.Column
col = ActiveCell.Row

would give you what you describe.

For Example, if I was in cell C5, i would like to be able
to assign row = 3 and column = 5. Is there a function in
Excel VB to do that. Currently, I used the absolute
address and I have to parse it to get the row and column
information. Is there a easier way?

Thanks in advance.
