Usedrange also suffers that problem Jim.

To be safe, it is best to reset as described in

Last cell is not updated until you save. Deleting the rows and columns
will
fix the problem, but not until you save the spreadsheet. That is the
problem
with using last cell. For that reason you are better off using either
.usedrange or .end

using the code ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell) normally works

the address to cell IV65536 - the last cell in the sheet. I have tried
Clear
= All from the unused columns and rows, deleting the unused columns and
rows, but once the sheet thinks IV65536 is the last cell, it is stuck.
how
can I clear up the sheet, so it correctly calculates the last cell?
