It's not done that way. You position the cursor where you want, then run your macro if you give it specific rows and specific columns it goes and works on them. If you give it named ranges then the macro works on them.. I sit next to an excel expert who is on another project now and that's what he just told me.

I'm working with Excel 2007. I recorded a macro that hides the row I'm looking at. When I looked at the code, the macro had a hard-coded number for the row I was focused on. I'm sure there must be syntax that says something like select the current row and change the hide property so that it's hidden. Once I get that done, I may make one that lists hidden rows and then I can pick one I want to unhide. I may do the same thing for columns, but I have to start somewhere. Thanks.
