Unless you are doing something with the selection, I wouldn't use it. Try
commenting it out and see what happens. I'd also recommend that you preceed
each Range object with a designation of the worksheet that the range is on,
otherwise,it will use the activesheet by default.

Hi all,

this code is from Stephen Bullen's book,

Range("A1").Select
lRealLastRow = Cells.Find("*", Range("A1"), xlFormulas, , xlByRows, _
xlPrevious).row
I'd like to know can we use other statement instead of range("A1").Select
