How to "update" SpecialCells(xlLastCell)

C

Charlie

If I delete rows from, say, "A11" to SpecialCells(xlLastCell), the last cell
reference isn't automatically updated to reflect the new "last cell". What
is the syntax or method I need to use so that SpecialCells(xlLastCell) now
points to, say, "H5"? (Or is there a different method of deleting the
selected cells such that it updates automatically?)

Range("A11", ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
Selection.Delete

ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Activate
iRow = ActiveCell.Row
iCol = ActiveCell.Column

(I would like iRow and iCol to now point to new Max Row and Max Col)

Thanks

Range("A11", ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
ActiveCell.UsedRange
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Activate
iRow = ActiveCell.Row
iCol = ActiveCell.Column

"UsedRange" did not appear in my list of items for ActiveCell, (although it
did auto-upcase when I typed it in), and I get an error 438 - Object doesn't
support this property or method. Do I need to add a reference to my VBA
project?

Found it:

ActiveSheet.UsedRange

Thanks
