Default Summing a range without making it active

Hi

I'm trying to sum the total of one column in a variable row length range starting from cell E49.

After my other code has executed the active cell would normally be beneath the last cell in Col C (let's say C101 for example).

How would I enter the formula in E101 that would total all the cells in Col E from E49 to the end of the column (in this instance E100) without (a) selecting cells in Col E to establish the top and bottom row numbers and (b) hard coding the column reference i.e "E" in the code?

The extract of my current code is as follows:

Dim SelRow1, SelRow2 as Integer

Range("E49").Select
Let SelRow1 = Selection.Row
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Let SelRow2 = Selection.Row
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Let Selection.Formula = "=sum(E" & SelRow1 & ":" & "E" & SelRow2 & ")"

It works but I don't like hard coding the column reference as I want to be able to re-use the code without editing the Let Selection.Formula = line every time.

Thanks for any suggestions.
