yep the selection and activecell objects are very useful

ah so when i say

rng.columns(2).select

this is implying (without explicitly stating)

selection = rng.columns(2).select


Thanks

If you want to loop through rng then yes what you have suggested as
what you are writing will loop through the whole range

off the back of rng.columns(2).select if you want to loop through this
just write

for each cell in selection

(3)

something like

With ActiveCell.AddComment
.Visible = True
.Text "comments blah blah blah"
End With

2 out of 3 aint bad

somethinglikeant

I have two three queries?

FIRST

If I say

Dim rng As range
Dim cell As range
Set rng = range (A1: C:10)

rng.columns(2).select

"and then say"

For Each cell in rng

blah
blah


My question is does rng now just refer to column 2 or does it refer to
the
whole range object declared.
I'm new to VBA (have done a little JAVA) and the statement
rng.columns(2).select on its own seems odd.
I would usually expect something more like
rng = rng.columns(2).select but does just rng.columns(2).select
basically
just have that affect until some other function is called on the rng
object?

SECONDLY

I have a variant which may hold a long.
I know = cont(integer) will work for an integer,
is there an equivalent for a long?


THIRDLY

If from question one, i have a cell (range object) in the for loop and
want
to add a comment to the right of that cell by three columns but same
row how
do i do it.
I think i probably need the offset function?

Something like

For Each cell in rng

cell = cell.offset(3,0)
cell.addcommment ("comment")

next cell

MANY MANY THANKS
