Default Adding Named ranged for each column...

Im trying to look through a header row and for each column after a
certain point (the first few columns do not require analysis), assign
named ranges to the column data using the first row as the name. I want
to do this for all the remaining columns. I have three problems in my
code. Three, that I can see that is ïŠ

At the line - For Each c In Selection, I think I should use €œFor Each
c In Selection€ however, I receive the error: error 13 type mismatch

At the line - For Each c In Selection€¦ I expect the following code
to act on each cell in the selection, in sequence€¦ however, it
happens to the entire selection

Using the macro recorder I came up with
ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:="DC_RES", RefersToR1C1:="=R1C7:R7C7"

Ive tweaked that to:
ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:=c.Value, refersto c.address

But I dont have a handle on the refers to Property

My code is:

Public Sub CreateNames()

Dim c
Dim srchRow


'designate header range
Range("a1").Select

Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select

srchRow = Selection.Find(what:="DC_RES", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns,
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Select

srchRow = Range(Selection,
Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select

For Each c In Selection 'srchRow causes an error!


ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:=c.Value, refersto c.address

Next

End Sub

any help will be appreciated
