Defining Range Extent
I am using a single worksheet to load a record set of variable number of
rows. Before loading I clear the worksheet using....... Columns("A:N").Select Selection.ClearContents I then load the data and select the set by using...... Range("A1").Select Range(Selection, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="DATA", RefersTo:="=audit!" & Selection.Address() My problem is that if the previously loaded record set used more rows than the new record set the range selection reflects the previously loaded data (more rows than I need). I have heard discussion about 'pure' worksheet, where no data has been placed in cells. How do I clear the worksheet out to create this 'pure' state or do I need to use a different command to select the range of the new data ?

Defining Range Extent
Nigel,
If you want to remove all the data in the worksheet, but retain formatting, use: Rows.ClearContents Rows returns a reference to all the rows in the active worksheet. If you want to remove all information, including formats, use: Rows.Delete If there is data underneath the imported records but there is at east one blank row between the two areas, you can use the following to clear ust the imported data: Range("A1").CurrentRegion.ClearContents CurrentRegion returns the table containing the referenced cell (A1 in this case). You can use the same property to name your imported data: Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Name = "audit!Data" Notice that it is seldom necessary to select anything in VBA code and the code will run faster as a result (although the savings here will be negligible because you are not doing much selecting) -- John Green - Excel MVP Sydney Australia "Nigel" wrote in message ...

Defining Range Extent
John
Thanks very much for the advice, I have applied the changes and all is OK Actually there were some other parts of my code that used selects before applying changes so I'll change these as well. This happens as I tend to use the macro recorder to setup a starter script that I then add to / edit. Up until now I have not change the 'selects stuff' as it didn't appear to be a problem.
