Default Macro to record keystrokes and not cell addresses

Loomah,

Cells are contiguous, however they are on another page.

The "Range(Selection,Selection.End(xlDown)) .select works fine on the page
where the macro is being recorded, however it still returns absolute
addresses on the othe pages in this Excel file.

Below is example of what the macro returns. I am not sure how to modify the
code to force the End.Down or End.Left parameters.

Range("Q2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-13],Clients!R1C1:R36174C7,5,FALSE)"
Range("R2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-14],Clients!R1C1:R36174C7,6,FALSE)"
Range("S2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-15],Clients!R2C1:R36174C7,7,FALSE)"
Range("P2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[1],Offset!R2C1:R25C2,2,FALSE)"
Range("P2:S2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("P3").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("P1:S1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

As you can see (Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
works fine on the main sheet in a multi page file, but when accessing the
Clients of Offset, this feature is lost.

Are you aware of any serious tutorials dealing with this subject.

Hi
There are a number of ways to deal with this

I'm assuming your data is contiguous and starts in cell A1

range("a1").currentregion.select - selects all your cells that are
contiguous to A1

Range("A1:F" & Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown).Row).Select - selects the range of
cells from A1 to col F & the equivalent of using END DOWN to find the last
row from A1, assumes no gaps

You could do the same thing starting from the bottom if there are gaps in
column A, ie
Range("A1:F" & Cells(1, 65536).End(xlup).Row).Select

And I'm sure I could go on!

I have a multi page spreadsheet, and I would like to have the macro record
an
area that changes its number of rows constantly.

What I am getting back in the macro is an specific range of cells from the
table array sheet no matter how many rows it contains, and I use the END
DOWN
to assign the range.

The lookup value on the main page records as END+DOWN, but seems to not
carry this feature to the other pages in the workbook.

Am using winXP with Office 2003.
