The Find method returns a Range Object, but its looking for the range (or
cell) where the string "$A$7" is. You need to convert $A$7 to a range.

if the variable location contains the string "$A$7"

and the first argument to Find is the variable findrangeA, then how is find
looking "for the range (or cell) where the string "$A$7" is" ?? And if it
were, how would the variable location get the value "$A$7"; cell A7 contains
the string "$A$7"?

because Location is a String Not a Range object, the .address property
returns a string.

Hey guys

I cannot get the below code to work. The variable
Location currently has a value of $A$7.

Dim Location

Location = Workbooks("Completed Followup Detail
CSS.XLS").Sheets("Followup Summary").Range("A7:A3000").Find
(FindRangeA).Address
ActiveCell.Value = Location.Offset(1, 2).Value

What I want to happen is for the value of the active cell
to become the value specified in the code. For instance
currently the variable value is $A$7. I want the active
cells value to become the value of cell C8. I get this by
using my offset formula.

Instead of getting this, no value at all is being inserted.

How do I fix this?
Thanx
Todd
