Re: Columns doesnt return expected results

Do you have those bleeping merged cells in column A to column U?

They can screw up lots of things.

And to make matters worse, each version of excel seems to treat merged cells
differently.

I hope this isnt too much of a newbie question... its been years since I
last did any serious VB programming.

I have a body of code that has just finished working with a range of rows
set by:

Rows(4 & ":" & intLastRow).Select ' select all active rows

and now I want to format column A. So I try setting column A to be the
active and selected column with

Columns("A:A").Select ' select column A

however it returns a range of Columns("A:U"). I have also tried
Columns(1).Select and
Range("A:A").activate with the same results.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks much
