Excel 2002, Win XP
Chip Pearson responded to a poster with a Worksheet_Change event macro that
included the line:
Target(1, 4).Value = Now
The Target(1,4) term is new to me. I played with it and it acts like an
Offset of (0,3).
What does the (1,4) in Target(1,4) mean? Thanks for your help. Otto

It's short coding for item/cells property of the range collection...


Range("b2")= Range("a1")(2,2)=[a1].offset(1,1)


Lotsa ways to refer to a cell :)

Though I didn't see the original message, my guess is that
Target is the name of a Range object. In any case, your
guess is correct, since cell references are 1 based,
rather than zero based, as are the underlying arrays.
