Niek,

Many thanks for that. But why should I know that to search for "?" I must
type in "~?". (Are there any others like this?) It seems most illogical
and counter intuitive. Is there a valid reason for this or is this another
example of Microsoft being inconsistent? (Why click on start when you want
to turn off the computer? rhetoric.)

Regards.

It seems that Excel is unable to find the character ?. It stops at every
cell.

Are there any other characters which it can't find and, more importantly
how can Excel be persuaded to search for "?" ?

Thanks.
