Second, the multiple area range you've selected can be simplified to Sheet3!$C$1:$AR$7062, since there are no blank columns between the areas and all ranges are the same height in rows. Any reason to select the data this way? Shohreh -

I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it throws an error if the user clicks cancel. Also, I think the default range has to be passed as a Variant (which is never intuitive to me).

Maybe I'm thinking of something else, or maybe in the old days it worked that way. I just checked by installing Office (2002 FWIW) on a VM. And the RefEdit was there. I've removed this section of the post. I can reuse part of it in an upcoming article about forms controls. John -

But when I tried it back in Sept 2009 I swear it didn't work. Maybe something changed with how this function works? I did load a new vista SP today...would that have affected Excel? Or maybe it always worked like this. Jon – I just tried the CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW thing, using the dialog in your LOESS utility, and it works.
