save again
*My current code fails because being from a recorded macro, it carries
the direct cell reference instead of my cursor moves to get to the end of
the current data set before I paste, and that does not work when I open a
file that has more records in it than the previous had (or less).
My current code uses the last suggestion I got in this thread before,
and is untried, but here 'tis, see if you can see any easier way. *The
database itself is at:
http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/download/dvdlist.zip
*It shrinks from 46 MB to 19 MB after I do this conversion. It also
makes it easier to query and use as a flat file database.

The above can be shortened to this...
Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
Select empty cell in Col A below the last use cell on worksheet
Range("A" & Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row + 1).Select
As Ron points out in the article he linked to, SpecialCells(xlLastCell) can
give you the wrong cell reference under certain circumstances. If you are
looking for a second method, though, then here is an alternative which will
work...
Columns("A").Find("*", , xlFormulas, , xlRows, xlPrevious).Offset(1).Select
It should be noted that both of the methods I posted find the empty cell
after the last cell with a value or formula EVEN IF that formula is
displaying the empty cell. If one would want to find the empty **looking**
cell (that is, the cell that is either empty or displaying the empty string)
located after the last displayed, non-empty value, you could use this last
method using xlValues in place of xlFormulas...
Columns("A").Find("*", , xlValues, , xlRows, xlPrevious).Offset(1).Select- Skjul tekst i anførselstegn -
