determining the cutcopy range progamatically

[jc]

is there a way to determine progamattically the range that is highlited with
a marquee while in cut or copy mode?

It would be the selection. You can use the address property. I don't have
excel running right now but it would be one of the following

SelAddress = selection.address

or

SelAddress = activecell.address

Make sure if it is in a different sheet or workbook that you include these
in the code.

I sometimes define the cut or copy Range like this

Set CopyRange = Workbooks("Book1.xls").sheets("Sheet1").Range("A10:C100")
Set PasteRange = Workbooks("Book2.xls").sheets("Sheet3").Range("D10")
CopyRange.Copy Destination:=PasteRange

CopyAddr = CopyRange.Address
PasteAddr = PasteRange.Address

activating a macro will de-highlight the marquee.
having it highlighted within a macro requires that you tell it what
range to cut/copy/paste.
hope the information helps.

I don't think this is right. You can copy a cell and the change the
selection many times and the marquee stays with the copied cell.

I am working with a worksheet_selectionchange procedure that blows away the
marquee when i do something to the range with the marquee like change the
font or add a comment. I would like to determine the cut or copy range going
into the procedure and re cut or copy it on the way out.

actually in the macro I'm working with the marquee stays on until I do
something to the cell that has the marquee like change font or add or delete
a comment. If I don't do anything to the cell the marquee stays on after the
macro.
