Hi, topnotchthrillr,

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Set cellToUse = cellToUse.Offset(5, 0) merely replaces the current cell's data in the CellToUse variable with that of the cell five rows down.
