activecell column to a given range
I've recently started doing some Excel programming after a gap
of about 4 years, I find I've forgotten a lot. What's the syntax for this? The activecell is in a given column. I want to go to the same column, but a different row, ie a particular row in a named range "Column_Headings" to put it another way, what I want to go is go to the column heading of whichever column I'm in at the moment. TIA |

Its going to be above a particular column of figures but there may be stuff above it. |

Do you know the row number to go to?
Activesheet.cells(###,activecell.column).Select if you do, change ### to that row number.

To be precise, I know the row number NOW, but as I develop my code Imight move the cells to a different location. I don't waant tohard code a specific row number. Cells in the row are a named range "column_headers" I want the current column within that range. Or an alternative way to do this. |

Ahhhh. I missed that part.

Sometimes, I don't read as carefully as I should. This was one (or 4) of those
times. Dave Peterson wrote: Ahhhh.
