first found blank cell to activecell address

[Vans666]

any help please.
After finding a blank cell using code below i would like to make that blank cell the active cell.
I know that you cannot assign a constant to a an active cell address therefore the below line of code fails


Public Sub findcell()


ActiveCell.Address = Worksheets("sheet1").Range("e4").End(xlDown).Row + 1


MsgBox "the active cell is " & ActiveCell.Address


End Sub

Something like this?

Sub findcell()
  Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("sheet1").Range("e4").End(xlDown).Offset(1), Scroll:=True
End Sub

You have to Select or Activate a cell in order to make it the ActiveCell. Try replacing the highlighted line of code above with this...

Worksheets("sheet1").Range("e4").End(xlDown).Offset(1).Select

Just a comment:
If 'Sheet1' is not the active sheet, that code will error, if 'Sheet1' will be the active sheet then the blue bit is redundant (it would also be redundant in my code if 'Sheet1' is going to be the active sheet).

Good point (that's what I get for copy/pasting without thinking). Just to clarify for the OP... you cannot select a cell or range of cells (nor activate a single cell) on any sheet other than the active sheet.
