Hi,

I'm trying to seach all worksheets in a workbook [except the first
worksheet] for a string that is supplied from a inputbox on the first
worksheet.

The results of the search should be written to rows on the first worksheet
with links to the matched occurance [like the FindAll in the Find Dialog

box].

I have been working toward the solution - here is my code so far...
------------------------
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()

Dim rng As Range, sh As Worksheet
Dim r, c As Integer
Dim Found As Boolean
Dim firstAddress As Variant
Dim strWhatToFind As String

c = 4
r = 15
Reenter:
strWhatToFind = Application.InputBox("Enter a word or phrase...",

"Search")
If strWhatToFind = "" Then
Response = MsgBox("Please enter search criteria.", vbOKOnly, "Oops!")
GoTo Reenter
End If
If strWhatToFind < "False" Then
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Activate
Set rng = Cells.Find(What:=WhatToFind, _
After:=Range("IV65536"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = rng.Address
Do
Worksheets("Title").Cells(r, c).Value =

sh.Range(rng.Address).Value
r = r + 1
Loop While Not rng Is Nothing And rng.Address < firstAddress
Found = True
End If
Next
Worksheets(1).Activate
If Not Found Then
MsgBox ("Customer Data not found")
Else
MsgBox ("Done")
End If
End If
End Sub

Seems this finds occurances only on worksheet 1, won't find any on other
sheets - and only finds 1 per sheet.

Can someone help?
