Aside from the issues pointed out by Ajax, you also are not using Option Explicit (not a good idea) and have not declared strText, so it is a Variant data type. Not that it is causing your issue, but it's the sort of thing that gives you problems sooner or later. There is probably other control code involved in the problem, which you haven't divulged. Nor do I get what you mean by a cell "in the same column" even if I take it to mean control.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
