Do While loop resets?

[if1467]

I am using VB6.3 out of excel and I have the following section of code:

Dim rownum As Integer
Dim colnum As Integer
Dim currcell As Range
Dim UnmatchedCount As Integer
Dim CTDate As String

If UnmatchedCount > 0 Then
    rownum = Blockrow1
    Set currcell = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum)
    colnum = colnum + 1
    CTDate = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum).Value
    colnum = colnum - 1
    
    Do While currcell <> ""
    
        If currcell.Interior.ColorIndex = 33 Then
            currcell.Select
            Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
            colnum = colnum - 1
            Set currcell = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum)
            currcell.Select
            Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
            colnum = colnum + 2
            Set currcell = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum)
            currcell.Select
            Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
            colnum = colnum - 1
        Else
            colnum = colnum + 1
            Set currcell = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum)
            currcell = CTDate
            colnum = colnum - 1
            rownum = rownum + 1
        End If
        Set currcell = ActiveSheet.Cells(rownum, colnum)
    Loop
End If

(The variables are set previously in the macro and I have showed the Dims just for reference)

The problem is that when it loops to the top for some reason it is not using the new currcell that it is set to at the bottom. It is using the same currcell that it started with? What am I missing?

Thanks for any input.

Is it possible you should be leaving out the Set keyword? As in...
[CODE=vb]currcell = ActiveSheet.Cel ls(rownum, colnum)[/CODE]Note - not telling you, just asking.

I tried that and the error "object required" came up. Any other ides?

Have you traced through the execution to make sure it's doing exactly what you think? And have you checked that colnum and rownum have the expected values each time around the loop?
