c is going to be an object of some sort. One possiblity is c is going to be a
range object (a range is a cell or group of cells on one sheet. Being that c
is an object until it has been "Set" to something it will be "Nothing". Once
it is set then it essentially points at a range. One common use for checking
for nothing is when you do a "Find" operation. If nothing is found then the
range object is still nothing. Now you check the c to determine if it is
nothing, or if it points to the found cell.

came across the code "If Not c Is Nothing Then". Could someone explain to me
what this means...the double negative throws me.
