Default Choosing Active Cell

I have a worksheet that contains 12 budgets (one for each month). Each
budget is identical in size (rows & columns). I have two commandbuttons that
allow me to sort two different ways. The user simply enters the month
(numeric value 1-12) and that particular budget is sorted.

What I am looking for is an automatic way to determine which budget is being
looked at, ie if I am viewing May's budget, logic would be I would be sorting
May's budget. I figure if I can determine what cell is currently selected,
then I can determine the range to be sorted automatically without the user
having to enter the month.

What code would determine what cell is selected?

Thanks,
Les

Hi Les,

Slightly over enthusiastic typing:


Set Rng = ActiveCelll


should be:

Set Rng = ActiveCell
