Giz,

Use the Resize method:

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Resize(1, 3).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Resize(3, 1).Select

Note that you rarely need to select anything within code to make changes....

Hi,
I am trying to select a range of cells after selecting a cell based on an
activecell.offset. For example, a line in my code looks like this:

ActiveCell.Offset(2, -3).Select

Now I want to select a range of three cells (the selected cell and one
cell
before and after the selected cell). The absolute location will not always
be
the same, therefore can not select range based on absolute cell references
(i.e. A1:A3 or .cells(1,3),.cells(3,3) for example). Can't figure out how
to
do it. Any help??
