with minor modifications, this worked out well!

'====== 01.23.08 new code for addresses
Dim lColumn
Dim lRow2
Dim tRange

lColumn = Range("C5").End(xlToRight).Column
lRow2 = Range("C5").End(xlDown).Row
If lRow2 = "1048576" Then
lRow2 = Range("C5").End(xlUp).Row
lRow2 = lRow + 4
End If
tRange = Range("C5", Cells(lRow2, lColumn)).Address
'MsgBox "lColumn " & lColumn 'for testing
'MsgBox "lRow2 " & lRow2 'for testing
'MsgBox "tRange " & tRange 'for testing
'End FindCellRange

Set rRngCol = Range(tRange)

As for empty cells, I filled them with "n/a", solves that problem.

Thanks Per!

I'm stuck.

The code below reads the cell.address and I strip the "$" signs. Then I
test for character length and create a range, IE, "A1" or "Z99" etc. I
recently found myself using double alpha characters on one sheet, IE, "AA6".
I am not seeing how I can get the propper information to continue creating a
range I want.

As an example, a particular worksheet has data from A1 thru AA6, I attempt
to create a range from C5 thru AA7 with my current code but with the double
alpha address I get a range that is the opposite of my target, C6 thru A5 (6
total cells when it should be 48 total cells from C5 thru AA6).

As always, your help is appreciated!

Hi Rick

Assuming your data always start in cell A1 and all cells in used range
is filled I would do something like this:

lColumn = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column
lRow = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
tRange = Range("C6", Cells(lRow + 1, lColumn)).Address
