Let's say I named the first column "ALPHA" and that I want to perform some function on it...

If I use this...
Set myRange = Range("A2", Range("A65536").End(xlUp))

It will process only those rows with data in them... so if I type information into the first 5 rows... it will process rows 2 through 5. All good.

But if someone inserts a column... the process looks at the wrong field... so I tried...

Set myrange = Range(Range("ALPHA"), Range("ALPHA").End(xlUp))

But it tries to process 1,048,576 rows. !!!!

What I need is the correct way to write something like...

Set myrange = Range(Range("ALPHA".ROW=2 ), Range("ALPHA". ROW = 1000000).End(xlUp))

How do I specify a named range-row?

How do I specify the last row in a range that actually has data?

Thanks!
