Note that that line will still die if the a column is empty... I would be
more inclined to try

activesheet.cells(rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).offset(1,0).select

Coming up from the bottom is lees prone to crash.

In the line
ActiveSheet.Range("a1").end(x1Down).Offset(1,0).Se lect
you have
x1Down

That should be
xlDown

Note XL not X1
