you can use the AND function in the IF statement at the top to defin
multiple instances of the INSTR(...) test (or the OR function etc..)


i.e.

If InStr(1, data, texttofind) AND InStr(1, data, texttofind2) Then
...
...
ENDIF

where texttofind2 is your second search criteria.

if you want to seach for a string but don't know what you will b
looking for when writing the code then a simple INPUT box statement ca
receive you text without the need for a dialogbox with all th
associated code:

texttofind = INPUTBOX ("Enter Search Text"
