Earl, Stan,
I am working in Excel and don't know much about Visual Basic or Macros.
Rick has given me a response which would probably help me if I did, but the
fact is I can't make it work.

ROW() or COLUMN() just give the coordinates of the cell that the formula is
written in.
I want to know the current coordinates of the cell that the "cursor" is in.
The values should change as I use the arrows to move around the worksheet.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

Since you said active cell, I presume you mean in VBA:

ActiveCell.Row or ActiveCell.Column

If you mean in a worksheet:

=ROW() OR COLUMN().

The above yields the row or column that the formula lives in.

Some folks prefer bottom-posting.
But if you bottom-post to a reply that's
already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

I want to find the row and column numbers of the active cell so that I can
use them as variables in an Excel worksheet.
