Default Offset with variable?

Hi John,

I get an error on this simple line of code...

st1 = st1.Offset(1, 0)

st1 is a range... is there anyother way to make st1 step one cell
down?


Since st1 is a Range object, you need to use the Set command if you want to
change its reference. Otherwise, VBA is going to assign the Value of the
cell below st1 to the cell referred to by st1. You shouldn't get an error,
though - that line of code executes for me, it just yields unexpected
results.

Dim st1 As Range

Set st1 = Range("A1")
Set st1 = st1.Offset(1,0) '/ now st1 refers to B1
