Hello

I'm trying to find th fourth blank cell in a column and select a range based
on it. Should be simple but for some reason I can't makeit work. Anyone tell
me what I'm doing wrong? I'd be most grateful.

For background, I have some data followed by two blank cells, followed by
more data, folowed by a blank cell, followed by more data followed by
another blank cell, followed by more data followed by blank cells to the
end. It's the start of these final blanks I'm trying to find
programatically.

Problem is that after firstqun,the rest of the variables show as zero

Dim firstblank As String
Dim firstqun As String
Dim secondblank As Range
Dim secondqun As String
Dim thirdblank As Range
Dim thirdqun As String
Dim fourthblank As Range

firstblank = Columns("a:a").Find(What:="", LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
firstqun = firstblank + 2
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate


Set secondblank = Range("a" & firstqun & ":a1000").Find(What:="",
LookAt:=xlWhole)
secondqun = secondblank + 1
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate


Set thirdblank = Range("a" & secondqun & ":a1000").Find(What:="",
LookAt:=xlWhole)
thirdqun = thirdblank + 1
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate

Set fourthblank = Range("a" & thirdqun & ":a1000").Find(What:="",
LookAt:=xlWhole)
Range("A1:HH" & fourthblank).Select
