If you want to use column B, try changing the code to use column B, too:

Sub NEWOUT()
Dim Lr As Long
with Sheets("Loan Area")
.Select
Lr = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "b").End(xlUp).Row + 1
.cells(lr,"B").select
end with
End Sub

This will actually take to the next available cell after the last used cell in
column B.

Thanks Roger but it is not working, I want it to go to the first vacant
empty row in column B
My Macro looks like this
Sub NEWOUT()
'
' NEWOUT Macro
'

'
Sheets("Loan Area").Select
Dim Lr As Long
Lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1

End Sub

It still takes me to B2 each time vacant or full

Any suggestions for an old amature

thanks

Hi

Dim Lr as long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1

lr will give the row number of the first empty row in column A

Can you help please
I am writing a data base in excel for our school, to track the resources,
I
need to have a macro that will take person from the Index Spread Sheet to
a
Spreadsheet called "Loan Area" and then take them to the next available
(empty) row on that sheet so that they can fill in their details,
I just cant get it to take them to the first blank cell in column A

Thanks
