Hi Simon

You can select a range for examples and activate one cell in that selection

Range("A1:C10").Select
Range("A5").Activate

If it is one cell then you can use both

what is the difference between using .Select and .Activate? i.e. why would I
use one vs the other? When I use .Select I find I get more errors, but its
not consistent.
