VBA: Selecting range by variables

Question

I want to select the formatted range of an Excel sheet. To define the last and first row I use the following functions:

lastColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Co         


        

Answer 1

I tried using:

Range(cells(1, 1), cells(lastRow, lastColumn)).Select 

where lastRow and lastColumn are integers, but received run-time error 1004. I'm using an older VB (6.5).

What did work was to use the following:

Range(Chr(64 + firstColumn) & firstRow & ":" & Chr(64 + lastColumn) & firstColumn).Select.
