Good morning.
I have a spreadsheet with two tabs. One contains data that gets manually updated. For each row updated, I run a macro which copies the unique code ID (column F) to a second tab. The macro runs fine as-is, except in the cases where there are blank columns of data for any given row, and this trips up the xlToLeft step. May I please get some help to tweak the macro so that column F of the active row is selected to be copied regardless of where on that specific row the active cell is?

Thanks so much in advance. My macro is below (Courier font, hopefully.)

Code:
[FONT=courier new]Sub UPDATE_CODE()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="BEGIN.TZ", RefersToR1C1:=ActiveCell 'Name active cell "goto" once the main process ends
    Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select 'Active cell to column A on same row as data entered (this doesn't work if there are blank cells between starting point)
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Range("A1").Select 'Active cell to column F (CODE ID) on same row as data entered
    Selection.Copy 'Copy CODE ID
    Application.Goto Reference:="TARGET.LIST" 'Go to target with list of CODE IDs for updated data
    ActiveSheet.Paste 'Paste CODE ID
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveWorkbook.Names("TARGET.LIST").Delete 'Delete current target for next update
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select 'Active cell down one row
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="TARGET.LIST", RefersToR1C1:=ActiveCell 'Name active cell "goto" for next target
    Application.Goto Reference:="BEGIN.TZ" 'Return to original cell location
    ActiveWorkbook.Names("BEGIN.TZ").Delete 'Delete "goto" anchor cell
End Sub[/FONT]

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
How about
Code:
Sub UPDATE_CODE()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Range("A" & activecell.Row).Resize(, 6).Copy Range("TARGET.LIST")
    Range("TARGET.LIST").Offset(1).Name = "TARGET.LIST"
End Sub

Thanks, Fluff. That gets me there. (Also, thank you for reformatting my code correctly.)
Have a great day.
