Thankyou Tom

As I said, you will have to rewrite your whole replace
section to reflect
the same code as the other routine you are working on.

this code

mySht.Cells.Replace _
ToReplace, ReplaceWith, _
xlWhole


works on a whole sheet. It doesn't stop and prompt on
each replace nor is
there a way to tell it to do so.

Hello from Steved

The below was designed to do what it does

What the below does is open all file in a nominated
Directory. Once all opened it then has a message asking
me
If MsgBox("OK to replace" & msg, vbYesNo) = vbYes.

What I would like please is when the first value is
found
to replace then give me the message yes or no then move
on to find the next value to replace and so on.

Thankyou.
