If the user types in "manager" and your search is for "like 'manager'"
then
it only finds the exact match, because there are no wildcards. If you
want
to allow anything with "manager" in it, the proper form would be:
If Application.Proper(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value) Like "*" &
Application.Proper(x2) & "*" Then...

Dear all;

I have a front sheet were in a cell named txtrole one can enter a role
(like
manager).
I want to search a column in a database on another sheet (Database) and
find
all cells that contain the word manager.
So, manager qualifies, but lead manager also qualifies.
When a match is found, I want to copy the whole row to the first
worksheet.

The code I developped -and which is not working- is written below.
Take into consideration that the code does start in the appropriate cell,
but that this part of the code is outside this sub.

Private Sub Check_02()
'Check Role
x2 = Worksheets("Front").Range("txtRole").Value
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
If Application.Proper(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value) Like
Application.Proper(x2) Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Copy WF.Range("B20").Offset(i, -1)
i = i + 1
j = j + 1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub

What must I change so that I can check how many cells qualify.
Do I use the like operator right or do I have to do this differently.
