I'm trying to re-write several macros written in XL2000 into an application
written in VB6. I am barely competent in VBA, and much less so in
VB.
I have a macro (given by Tom Ogilvy, I believe) that works great in Excel
VBA. The basic idea is to search through only the visible cells of a
filtered worksheet and hide any row that does not contain the search string
value. Like I said, it's fast and great in VBA. In
VB, though, I get an
error - "Unable to get the SpecialCells property of the Range class." The
VB code follows. Any and all suggestions are most appreciated.

Dim MyTarget As String
Dim myFind As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim rng As Object
Dim cntRows As Long
MyTarget = ""
MyTarget = InputBox("What text are you searching for?")
If MyTarget = "" Or MyTarget = "False" Then GoTo Bye
If objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").AutoFilterMode Then
Set rng = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Range
Else
cntRows = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
MsgBox "This is set for TEST ONLY! Change before distributing."
Set rng = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1", "D" & cntRows)
End If
' **ERROR ON THIS LINE**
For Each Cell In rng.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
