Hello Alastair,

You're probably looking for this one:

	set rw to first column index of active cell

Let's say you're interested in cell at third row and fourth column (in your example, this was cell at row 54 and column 1); all of these seem to be valid ways to refer to that cell:

	row 3 of column 4
	column 4 of row 3
	cell 3 of column 4
	cell 4 of row 3

Now, if you want a range object, command "get offset" may be applied to each of the above; for example:

	get offset row 3 of column 4

Another way to get that range is to start with the sheet's top-left cell:

	get offset cell "A1" row offset 3 column offset 4

And so on...

Axel
