Default macro doesn't properly record AutoSum (and SendKeys doesn't work)

In my macro, I'm trying to "insert" an auto-sum command into various,
periodic cells. But when I record the keystrokes it always refers to a range
of cells (whether it's a relative or absolute address). So, that won't work
because it's a different range every time. I just want to execute an
auto-sum function into a balnk cell. But even SendKeys doesn't work. The
macro ignores the SendKeys command of: "alt-equals-enter."

Here's a description, in general:

In Column B, I have thousands of dollar-amounts, separated intermittently by
two blank cells. I need to sum the range of cells directly "above" the first
blank cell. My macro can "find" each blank cell in which the auto-sum should
occur -- that's no problem. But when I'm at the blank cell, I merely want to
perform an auto-sum. But I can't specify an exact range because the range
(number of cells) changes every time. So, in effect, I just want to "click"
the auto-sum icon. But, like I said above, "record macro" inserts the
specific row addresses (or relative range) and SendKeys doesn't work.

So, how can I program the macro to perform an auto-sum without specifying a
specific range of cells?

Thanks. Dan
