I want to select a student name from AE3 Data Validation dropdown and class
from AF3 Data Validation dropdown and wind up activating the class under
the student name.

This finds the student name, but stops the
Sub FindClass()
Dim ThisClass, FoundClass As Range
Columns("A:A").Find(Range("AE3")).Activate
ThisClass = Range("AF3").Value
Set FoundClass = Selection.Find(What:=ThisClass, _
After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
End Sub
