Said slightly differently, the Integer variable type and the Long
variable type each refer to integers; the range of the Integer type is
-32768 to 32767; the range of the Long type is -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647. Single and Double variable types can include both
integers and non-integers.

Row numbers are always integers; but if the row number is larger than
32,767, it can't be assigned to an Integer type variable, but can be
assigned to a Long Type variable.

DH,

When passing row numbers to variables, the recommended way is
to dim them as Long so that you're not constrained by the
32,767 limit with Integer.

Well. no it isn't an integer when the row number exceeds 32 thousand
something---I think it is about 32760 or so.
Set it to single if you exceed the 32k limit

Just a point but the return from "ActiveCell.Row" is an Integer

Paul:

I have "Dim rngR As String" and use "rngR = ActiveCell.Row" to collect

the

row number and use it later ("Range("AB" & rngR).Select").
