Default Verify Column Letter Selected

If you are looking at last filled column use the below which will return
the last used column in row 1

lngLastCol = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column


Or use this code which will return the last filled in column no matter what
row it occurs in...

LastUsedCol = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column

Either use Application.Inputbox Type:=8 so that the user can select the
range.

OR

Get the column as numbers and refer it as
Cells(row,column)

I have a inputbox that prompts the user to enter a column letter so that
a

user
some times fat fingers this and enters things like "A3" or "A3E" Is there
anyway to check to make sure what the user inputs is a valid column
letter?
