Default InputBox method with range

I am trying to use an InputBox method to ask the user for a range of rows.
It works most of the time, but sometimes returns nothing, even though a range
was chosen. It is also inconsistent - sometimes a chosen range is
recognized, and sometimes the same range is not recognized. What gives?
(Excel 2000 on Windows XP)

Sub Delete_Rows()

Dim Target As Range
Dim SpecialRows() As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim BadRowsList As String
Dim CancelDel As Boolean
Dim EndCleared As Range

CancelDel = False

On Error Resume Next
Title = " "
Prompt = "Select row (or range of rows) to be deleted."

Set Target = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:=Prompt, _
Title:=Title, _
Default:=ActiveCell.Address, _
Type:=8)
If Target Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ReDim SpecialRows(Target.Rows.Count - 1) As Integer
i = 0
Worksheets(1).Unprotect ("support")
For Each rw In Target.Rows
If rw.Row < 7 Then
SpecialRows(i) = rw.Row
i = i
CancelDel = True
End If
Next
If CancelDel = True Then
MsgBox "Rows 1 - 6 cannot be deleted."
Else
Target.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Worksheets(1).Protect ("support")
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
