Thanks Dave - I should have gone to the link as Otto suggested...
I should remember that (for next time).
Thanks,
JMay

Debra documents this on that link:

4. Save the file. Note: In older versions of Excel,
you may have to Save, then close and re-open
the file before the used range is reset.

Otto:
After running this macro I found that you must Close the file (and
answer
"Yes" to the q Do you wish to save?) and then re-open to have the
Control-end actually goto the last-used cell. Could the Close/re-open
be
included in the original macro?
TIA,

You need to search for something in a cell, not a blank cell ("*").
Here
is
a macro from Debra Dalgliesh that resets the last cell of the sheet,
rows
and columns both. HTH Otto
'This code is from Debra Dalgliesh at:
'http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlfaqApp.html#Unused
Sub DeleteUnused()
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myLastCol As Long

myLastRow = 0

Could somebody help me with some code to perform this.

I have a spread sheet with a varying amount of rows.

It gets updated daily and i run some code to do various things. I
need
to go down to the last row with data in and then delete the rest. I
think that when the spreed sheet is set up (by somebody else), they
set
the area as when i use some other code that i found to go to the
bottom
of data it finds more than what there is?!
The code below is what i use to see how many rows.

myRows = last
On Error Resume Next
last = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="", _
After:=[A1], _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox last
