activesheet.cells(activecell.row,1).select

Or maybe you really want:
Activecell.entirerow.range("a1:M1").Interior.Color Index = 15

any ideas how i can do this? I have the following macro to highlight a
series of cells, but for it to work correctly, the first step needs to
be to select the first cell in the current row.

thanks

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1:M1").Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
