Selecting Vs Activating Then Copy

I know there is a simple answer for this, and I did a search but could not find what I am looking for. I am comparing two different workbooks. I loop through the first workbook (oldfile) and then find the corresponding value on the other file. I find the corresponding value using

With Worksheets(1). Range("b2:b" & blah)
Set c = .Find(MyVar, LookIn:=xlValues)

I know the cell address of the value that was found by

firstAddress = c.Address

Now I need to offset a few columns and copy the data. If the cell address was in R1C1 format then I could do this easliy by ActiveCell.Offset(Row, col + Offset).Copy

(where row and col are given from the c.address function. But I don't know the RC value since the c.address provides the value in "A1" format. I do not want to actually go to the cell and then do an offset and copy, since it is a large spreadseet and would be slow. I don't want to do a bunch of string manipulations (unless it easy). Is there a way to have c.address output it's values in R1C1 format? Or is there a different command I could use?
