big stupid question

In a marco,
If I write --- EN = cells(1,1)
then, EN will equal to the data of cells(1,1)

The problem is :
The cursor will stop at different cell, not certain.
May be at cells(2,2), cells(3,10), cells(10,2)............., every time is
different.
So, I want to get the location of the cell, then set EN is equal to that cell.

How to write in marco to get the location of cells.

Try...

EN = ActiveCell.Value

If you want the location(address)

Sub goop()
EN = ActiveCell.Address
'MsgBox "address is " & EN
End Sub

Otherwise, see Rick's reply for returning the value.

Are you looking for a certain value, and then you'd like to get the
address of that cell? "...cursor will stop at different cell, not
certain..."
Or are you just wanting the address of whatever cell is active at the
time?

If you're looking for something, and then would like to get the
address of that cell, you will need a Cells.Find(.......) function.
Then you could make an if statement to display cell address.

Dim mySearch as Range

On Error Resume Next
Set mySearch = Cells.Find("____")

If mySearch.Value = _____ Then
MsgBox (mySearch.Address)
End If

.....something to that effect. Have to debug a little better, but
that's basically it.
