How to identify a column

I am using the following procedure to identify a range and send it another procedure, MakeMatrix, which sets out a matrix of borders to its cells

My problem comes to light when I discover Range("MatrixRange2") has no borders or lines. The reason turns out to be that lrow has a value of 1.
This is odd in that the value of StartPlace is as expected and the next column on (StartPlace+1), at present, has the last occupied row of 148.
What I want to do is to identify which column my code is actually looking at. I thought of using WorkbookFunction.Address but this is not possible. I am stuck and would welcome some help.

Many thanks for your interest. I shall not be back in operation till Monday, when I shall be using your input. I will let you know how I get on.
Something very odd is going on. If step through my code, all works, if I run it lrow takes a value 0f 1 and there is no matrix.
