Create excel ranges using column numbers in vba?

Question

How is it possible to create a range in vba using the column number, rather than letter?

Haha, Lovely - let me also include my version of stackPusher's code :). We are using this functionality in C#. Works fine for all Excel ranges.:

public static String ConvertToLiteral(int number)
{
        int firstLetter = (((number - 27) / (26 * 26))) % 26;
        int middleLetter = ((((number - 1) / 26)) % 26);

        int lastLetter = (number % 26);
        firstLetter = firstLetter == 0 ? 26 : firstLetter;
        middleLetter = middleLetter == 0 ? 26 : middleLetter;
        lastLetter = lastLetter == 0 ? 26 : lastLetter;
        String returnedString = "";
        returnedString = number > 27 * 26 ? (Convert.ToChar(firstLetter + 64).ToString()) : returnedString;
        returnedString += number > 26 ? (Convert.ToChar(middleLetter + 64).ToString()) : returnedString;
        returnedString += lastLetter >= 0 ? (Convert.ToChar(lastLetter + 64).ToString()) : returnedString;
        return returnedString;
}
