Default What does Address(external:=True) mean?

What does the data in the bracket denote?

rng.Address(external:=True)

I usually only use the .Address property without any additional information.
MSDN states "Optional Variant. True to return an external reference. False
to return a local reference. The default value is False."

What is an external/local reference?


Thanks

Try this in the immediate window:

?activecell.address
then
?activecell.address(external:=true)

And you'll see the difference.

I guess I could have done that prior to my post! Thanks
