Excel and VBA work together with .Find. They each remember the parameters in
the previous Find (either manually or via code).

Because of this, your testing is just testing the last set of parms that were
used. And that's one very good reason to specify all the parms you want--if you
don't specify them, then you'll be trusting that the last Find that was done
used the same parms as the ones you want.

Have played with the following VBA code arguments but all seem to give
same result whether included or excluded:

Cells.Find( _
What:="*", _
after:=ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
lookat:=xlWhole, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows) _
.Row

What is the minimum set of arguements to always fine the last used row?

Why does not appear to make any difference to the end result, if I
include or exclude the following - what am I missing?
after:=ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
lookat:=xlWhole, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows) _
.Row

Thanks, EagleOne
