Arrow right code?
 

i am recording macros for an excel solution, however, i noticed that when I
arrow right, excel records an absolute reference (ie. Range("B32").Select) of
the row. This is not good because the number of rows will always be
different. How do I make the selection move to the next cell to the right
without absolute reference?

Arrow right code?
 

activecell.offset(0, 1).select

offsets (moves) the acctive cell 1 column to the right

Jim gave you the correct answer, but if you had set your recorder to record
relative, it would have given you this:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 08/02/2005 by OGILVTW
'

'
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
End Sub



The relative/absolute toggle button is the right button the the two button
stop recording toolbar.

As you can see, the Range("A1") part is redundant, but is not incorrect.

I thought that this button opens the VBA IDE, silly me. Thank you.
