Default Showing known cell reference in a popup



HI

I'm trying to show a selected cell reference in a popup , rather than
the cell content.

This is the code :

Dim lrow As Long
With ActiveSheet
lrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With

Dim r1 As Range, r2 As Range
Set r1 = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter address of first cell",
Type:=8)
Set r2 = Application.InputBox("Address of first cell chosen " & r1 &
vbCr & vbCr & "Enter address of
last cell" & vbCr & vbCr & "(Total Rows In Table : " & lrow & ")",
Type:=8)

Range(r1, r2).Select

End Sub

The problem is that this returns the content of the cell chosen in the
first popup (r1) , rather than the cell reference.

Can someone advise how to do this please?

Grateful for any assistance.

hi
in your second set, don't reference r1. instead refererce r1.address ie

Set r2 = Application.InputBox("Address of first cell chosen " & r1.Address & _
vbCr & vbCr & "Enter address of last cell" & vbCr & vbCr & _
"(Total Rows In Table : " & lrow & ")", Type:=8)
