It would be the selection. You can use the address property. I don't have
excel running right now but it would be one of the following

SelAddress = selection.address

or

SelAddress = activecell.address

Make sure if it is in a different sheet or workbook that you include these
in the code.

I sometimes define the cut or copy Range like this

Set CopyRange = Workbooks("Book1.xls").sheets("Sheet1").Range("A10 :C100")
Set PasteRange = Workbooks("Book2.xls").sheets("Sheet3").Range("D10 ")
CopyRange.Copy Destination:=PasteRange

CopyAddr = CopyRange.Address
PasteAddr = PasteRange.Address
