The answer to your question is to set the range that you are searching in the
first place:
ws.Range("A1:X500").Find(...)

I would like to thank you up front

I am trying to count the number of rows used in an excel sheet

Dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveSheet
Dim LastRow as long

LastRow = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, SearchOrder:=xlByRows).Row

This code finds any data found in the row from column A till the last
activated column. however I want the find method to find data in the row from
column A to X only.
How may I set the find method to search for data from column A to X for the
first 500 rows? Is that possible?
