Capture the range a user selects and put in textbox.
 

Hi,
I am trying to capture the range a user selects then put that
information into a textbox in a userform. That's the start cell and
end cell addresses, not the contents.

I have a Userform with an Excel workbook. The user is going to
highlight a range of cells in any worksheet in any workbook () and I
want the following details to be shown in text-boxes in my Userform.
The data I need is:

Workbook Name
Worksheet Name
First Cell of the range selected
Last Cell of the range selected.

Does anyone have any ideas? I thought there would be some way of
converting a Range to a String, but I didn't very far down that route.

Thanks in advance!
Drew.

Hi

sub test()
dim start as string, finish as string
With Selection
start = .Cells(1,1).address is the first cell
finish = .Cells(.rows.count, .columns.count).address
End With
msgbox start
msgbox finish

end sub

tbWB.Value = Selection.parent.Parent.Name
tbWS.Value = Selection.Parent.Name
tbFirstCell.Value = Selection(1).Address
tbLastCell.Value = Selection(Selection.Count).Address
