Set Activecell

I'm trying to figure out how to stop typing "activecell" in my code.

I would like to be able to set a variable like "AC" for activecell in memory for every excel file I open. I always have an open workbook in the background hidden with ADHoc code. I would like to add a statement that would abbreviate activecell to "AC" or activecell.offset to ACO.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Oak

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
make a function that becomes the Activecell, then call it. Usage: MsgBox AC.Value

Code:
public function AC() as range
set AC = activecell
end function

Thank you.....That worked when I placed the code in the workbook that was current and I was using. Is there a way I can make that work when the code is placed in a hidden workbook, and then execute it in the active workbook?
