Unclear, confusing, obscure... basically, as used with coding, hard to
read or decipher.

What is obfuscated? I am just a country boy.
:
Since the letters "to" are not metacharacters to the TEXT function,
and at the risk of making your statement just a little bit more
obfuscated, you can shorten it a tad more...
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=""Dates: ""&TEXT(MIN(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""dd mmm yyyy"")&" & _
"TEXT(MAX(R[3]C:R[65000]C),"" to dd mmm yyyy"")"

You can shorten it a lot:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=""Dates: ""&TEXT(MIN(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""dd mmm yyyy"")&" _
& """ to ""&TEXT(MAX(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""dd mmm yyyy"")"

Using Excel 2000. The below lines are on two rows, I'd like to
have as a
few more rows so it's easier to read albeit the _ (space
underscore)
doesn't like breaking the lines. Is this possible?
Also, I don't really like the [65000] in the code but I don't know
any
other way to get the MIN and MAX dates from a range that charges
frequently. The below code places in a file then range values.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=""Dates: ""&TEXT(MIN(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""dd"")&""
""&TEXT(MIN(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""mmm"")&""
""&TEXT(MIN(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""yyyy"")&"" to
""&TEXT(MAX(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""dd"")&""
""&TEXT(MAX(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""mmm"")&""
""&TEXT(MAX(R[3]C:R[65000]C),""yyyy"")"
Thanks, Rob
