Default Defining a Range using Variables

Another one:

With activesheet
.range(.cells(vary,"A"),.cells(varx,"D")).select
end with

This is VBA 101 for me so your help is very much appreciated.

The problem lies in the syntax between the parenthesis in defining a Range.

OK, so an area between A3 and D30 is coded as Range("A3:D30").Select

Assume that the range is defined by one cell only: If A3 is located by
trapping the last row in column A by using a Variable, the code is Range("A"
& VarX).Select (No problem there.)

Now, assume that the range is defined by A3 and any row in column D: if D30
is located by trapping the last row in column D by using a Variable, the
area is defined as Range("A3:D" & VarY).Select (No problem there.)

The Big Question is: How do to code an area defined by using two Variables?
Given the area is defined by A(VarY) down to D(VarX), the code Range("A"&
Var ":D" & VarY).Select does not work. What is the correct syntax in this
case?

(Assume that both variables have been properly "Dimm"ed and executed.)
