You also need a space after the "Insert" and before the "_":

ActiveCell.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert _
Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

Something I just noticed is that you missed the period before your first
"Select"

'cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 2).Select

Put that in there

I WANT TO DO THE SAME THING BUT i CAN'T GET IT TO WORK

This is my macro:
insertrows Macro
' Macro recorded 5/30/2008 by kathy.m.beck
'

'cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 2)Select
'Range ("A1:N6004"). Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert_
Shift:=xlDown,CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

I get this error message:
Compile error syntax error

Can you help?

Thanks!

Maybe this:
Range(cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 2, 0)).Select
should be:
cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 2, 0).Select

Here is my full code:

' (Declarations)

Dim cell_count As Long
Dim add_amount As Long
Dim cell_range As Range

Private Sub cell_setup()

cell_count = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A8:A1000"))
Set cell_range = Worksheets("Inventory").Range("A8")

' FYI, cell_count = 546 in my example

End Sub

Private Sub add_item_Click()

Dim cell_row As Long
Dim lastrow As Long

Call cell_setup
add_amount = cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 3, 1).Value

' insert row
Range(cell_range.Offset(cell_count + 2, 0)).Select

'Range("A1:D10").Select

ActiveCell.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert _
Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

End Sub
