name a range from the current activecell down 12 rows

[BRC]

Hi,
I know this is probably very simple but I can't find the code i need
and when I try to record as a macro i get hard coded addesses (c7.c19)
rather then just something like "xldown 12." and since the starting
address varies, the hardcoded address don't help. I want to select the
activecell and 12 or 13 down and then give that range a name. Thk in
advance for any help.

ActiveCell.Resize(13, 1).Name = "myName"

MsgBox Range("myName").Name

Regards,
Peter T

Hi BRC,

Try this code:

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="namerange", RefersTo:=ActiveCell.Resize
(12, 1)
