I am writting code to clear an area of a spread sheet. I have the
upper left hand cell selected, but I need to be able to offset from
this point and go down 6 rows and 6 columns. So instead of just
selecting A1 it woudl select A1:F7.

Thanks in advance,
Jay
 
One way:

Range("A1").Resize(7, 6).ClearContents

Note that you almost never need to select a range - working directly
with the range object makes your code smaller, faster, and IMO, easier
to maintain...
 
Jay,

Range(Selection, Cells(Selection.Row + 6, Selection.Column + 6)).Select
Or more easily
Selection.Resize(6, 6).Select

Some folks prefer bottom-posting.
But if you bottom-post to a reply that's
already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

Thank you for the help. I will keep that in mind when writting future
code.
