Not sure what you mean, but Address when used with a range object is a read-only property and hence can only appear on the right-hand side of an equation. If you have just typed in ActiveCell.Address, the compiler will think you're trying to write to it and throw up an error. Try something like myAddress = ActiveCell.Address or MsgBox ActiveCell.Address instead.
