If isect Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Ranges don't intersect"
Else
isect.Select
End If
The following example compares the Worksheet.Range property, the Application.Union method, and the Intersect method.
Range("A1:A10").Select 'Selects cells A1 to A10.
Range(Range("A1"), Range("A10")).Select 'Selects cells A1 to A10.
Range("A1, A10").Select 'Selects cells A1 and A10.
Union(Range("A1"), Range("A10")).Select 'Selects cells A1 and A10.
Range("A1:A5 A5:A10").Select 'Selects cell A5.
Intersect(Range("A1:A5"), Range("A5:A10")).Select 'Selects cell A5.
