I would like to write code that would find text in column A and then select
all rows to the last row, and finally delete all the selected rows including
the original row where the text was found.

I am able to find the text, no problem, and the text is unique to the first
column. I used ActiveCell.End(xlDown) to get to the last row. But, it doesn't
select all the rows.

I tried finding the text and then using:

strBeginCell = Selection.Addres

as the beginning address, then using the following to get the ending cell
address:

ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
strEndCell = Selection.Address

And, finally using the following to select all the rows, at which point I
get a syntax error:

Range(strBegCell:strEndCell).Select

Thank you.
