In my worksheet I am going to launch a macro from a different cell address
each time it is run. I want the macro execution to always complete in the
starting cell
(return to it). Any ideas please?

Sony, you can do most things in VBA without selecting the cells, may want to
post your code and see if that is the case, that said, give this a try

Set Oldsheet = ActiveSheet
oldcell = Selection.Address

'put your code here

Oldsheet.Select
Range(oldcell).Select

Paul - Here is how it is supposed to work: How do I fit your code in to mine
below (this is my current code (below)) Thanks for reviewing

Cell e2 will be active before the macro is run the first time. The macro
will (f5) go to and select range b2:b7, and copy back to d2:d7. The second
time run, cell e2 will be active, and should copy b2:b7 back to e2:e7. I
always want the b2:b7 selection to be copied back to the starting cell.

sony654, I am not clear on what you want to do, at first thought you only
wanted to go back to the cell you were in when you started the macro, now "I
always want the b2:b7 selection to be copied back to the starting cell" in
your example e2 is the starting cell each time but you are putting the data
in d and then e?? maybe something like this will put what's in B2:B7 where
the activecell is at, will that work? Range("B2:B7").Copy
Destination:=ActiveCell

Paul, Sorry. D2 is the active cell the first time the macro is run. Then E2
the second time the macro is run. The F2 the third time the macro is run,
and so on. B2:B5 is always copied back to the active cell position.
Hopefully that clarifies what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks Sony

Fred, Is ActiveCell.Address literal, or a "cell" address. I don;t mean to
look so elementary on this. But I appreciate your solution, it will be great
