Default Find a hidden entry

Excel 2002, WinXP
The code below is a simplification of my code to demonstrate my problem.
I have a, b, c, d, e in A1:A5.
Rows 3:5 are hidden rows
I want to search the range A1:A5, in VBA, to find the row number of the "c"
entry.
This code will not work because Row 3, the "c" row, is hidden.
My intent is to find the row, unhide it, and work with it.
Question: Is there a way to find the row number of the "c" entry, short of
unhiding the whole Rng first?
One way is to loop through Rng and look for "c". Is there a better way?
Thanks for your help. Otto

Sub FindHidden()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim c As Long
Set Rng = [A1:A5]
c = Rng.Find(What:="c", _
After:=[A1], LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
MsgBox c
End Sub
