    Re: difference in between activecell.activate and activecell.select

    To be honest, you should avoid selecting (or activating) anything, including cells.

    Selecting, or activating, a cell causes interaction between VBA and the worksheet which is slow and inefficient.

    For what it's worth, for what you say you are trying to do, as a one off, it probably doesn't make a lot of difference. Again, for what it's worth, I’ve never used .Activate.
