the bottom of my worksheet is a database, i can't figure
out how to pull the last cell's value and make it a
variable, but since its a database i will never know
which cell is going to be the last one.

if it makes it any easier, what i'm trying to do is keep
a running balance in a worksheet, and when the worksheet
is opened, i need to pull the running balance from the
last database entry.....
and put it in another cell (i can do this part)

thanks in advance guys,
