I have a range named "seabassrange" which consists of two nonadjacent rows by ten columns. I want to check the range to ensure there is nothing in it prior to proceeding. The test code below works when the range is only one cell, but when I try to apply it to my desired range, it always tells me there is something in the range, even after I have deleted everything.

1. Could some kind of formatting be at play here
2. Is there another way to accomplish my goal

Thank you in advance
Fre

Sub test(
If IsEmpty("SeabassRange") The
MsgBox "empty
Els
MsgBox "not empty
End I
End Sub

Actually, your code doesn't work with a single area range. It is only
checking the top first cell.

If application.CountA("seabassrang") = 0 then
