Hi Mike
you probably have no cells selected when you invoke this macro which
contains your search string.

I have the following very simple piece of code as part of a macro:


Selection.Find(What:="01/08/2002", _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False).Activate


Quite simply, in a row that is selected, the instruction is to
activate the cell where it finds the date shown.

I have recorded this through simply "doing a Ctrl+F" with the
recorder
running, but when I run this macro to check it keeps failing.

Any ideas on what the problem is as it's driving me mad, I can't see
what's wrong.

Thanks in advance

Mike
