How do you name a selected range? How do you determine the dimensions of the range (top left corner to bottom right corner)?

Thanks

Select your range and then
on the menu:
Insert - Name - Define -

Type a name and click OK.

I am trying to write a macro in which the user will select a range and then activate the macro. The macro will then manipulate the range. But to be able to do that I need to name the range so I can get back to it, and also define the size and location of the selected range.

Okie,

Selection.Name = "Fred"
MsgBox "First cell of Fred is " & _
Range("Fred").Cells(1).Address
MsgBox "Last cell of Fred is " & _
Range("Fred").Cells(Range("Fred").Cells.Count).Add ress
MsgBox "Fred covers " & Range("Fred").Rows.Count & " Rows"
MsgBox "Fred covers " & Range("Fred").Columns.Count & " Columns"

HTH,
