select entire column based on cell value

Hi, in my macro, I'm trying to have the macro select an entire column (ie W) based on the cell value my users will input ( ie W). Here is my code with the column value hard coded.

' Macro2 Macro
''
Columns("W:W").Select
Selection.Copy

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Jim

if I could ask 1 more favor. This works great in my one active worksheet, can I make it do the same thing on all worksheets in my workbook? There's like 20.

Is the column the same in all worksheets? If not, is it fine with you if the user receives 20 input boxes asking for the alphabet?

yes the collumn is the same in all worksheets. Now that I think of it, maybe I shld just have the user input the the collumn letter in a "set up" sheet and have the macro take it from there.
