Thanks Rob

It worked - makes life a lot easier.

I still have a feeling that there may be a more direct reference.
For example, Columns(10) is a valid reference.

Hi Don,

You could try referencing the range using this notation:

Range(Cells(1,1),Cells(1,10)).EntireColumn

This will select columns 1:10 as per your example.
