Select specific cells in same row as active cell
I need the code for selecting a specific range of cells on the same row
as the active cell. The active cell will be selected with a cell.find operation, so it will not always be in the same column. Thus, an activecell.offset won't work. I tried putting the range in the code, but it failed. Here is how the code looks now: Sub Look_Here() Dim WhatFor WhatFor = ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 1) Cells.Find(What:=WhatFor, after:=ActiveCell, SearchDirection:=xlNext, searchorder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False).Activate Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8)).Select <---IT IS HERE THAT I WANT TO REFER TO CELLS A:J ON THE SAME ROW AS THE ACTIVE(found) CELL. thanks to all |

Oops, wrong code.
Try this Dim rng As Range WhatFor = ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 1) Set rng = Cells.Find(What:=WhatFor, after:=ActiveCell, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _ searchorder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False) If Not rng Is Nothing Then Range(Cells(rng.Row, "A"), Cells(rng.Row, "J")).Select End If -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Select specific cells in same row as active cell
Ron,
The shorter code worked just fine. It was easy to adapt to my real purpose, which was highliting the whole range with each selection. Thanks again to both of you.
