Simple (I think) VBA syntax question

[Asala42]

Hey all,

Kind of a general syntax question but it's simple enough to explain. This may remind you of the INDIRECT function.

The Brief History:
Somewhere in my current code I have an Object Variable (I'll call "x") that eventually gets assigned an integer value (via a calculation). The code I have so far to get this integer value works great. My question relates to the next step.

By design, the end value for X is actually a row number. For example sake, say the current code ends in setting X = 34. What I'd like to do is use that Object Variable as a way to select a cell in Column B (B34 in this example). How do you code this?

I've tried (with dismal failure) code similar to this:

Range("B:"&X).Select (or)
Range(""B:"&X").Select

...I know I'm missing something really basic - but I'm starting to go NUTS!

Thanks!
Adam S.

Range("B:"&X).Select ' should work without the Colon

Range("B"&X).Select ' or use.Activate

If you are still having problems try stepping through the code to make sure that the variable x IS being assigned a value.
