I didn't get all the changes incorporated that I had intended:

Sub aBC()
Dim zNmRng As Name
Dim zNmRngA As Range
Dim sNmRngB As Range

For Each zNmRng In ActiveSheet.Names ' Iterate through names.
On Error Resume Next
Set zNmRngB = zNmRng.RefersToRange
On Error GoTo 0
If Not zNmRngB Is Nothing Then
Set zNmRngA = zNmRngB.Find(what:="IMP", _
After:=zNmRngB(1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
If Not zNmRngA Is Nothing Then

'Conditional formating code goes here

End If
End If
Next

End Sub

The above worked fine for me.

Luc, If I use ActiveSheet.Names
dosent that limit the search to just the names on the active sheet? or
does it still look at a lot of unecessary space?

Thanks for bringing this up
Robert

It doesn't make much sense to search ( with find() ) the entire active

Thanks Tom, I Have got that working. Im using Activesheet because
there are many sheets from on template that have the same names and I
may need to run diffent pass/fail criteria on differnt sheets.

Thanks Again

You also might Try

ThisWorkbook.Names instead of Activesheet.Names

It depends on which names you want to look at.

I need to search through the Named Ranges in a sheet and for the
ones
that contain certain text, in this case "IMP" then I need to set a
conditonal format to the range. I have the conditonal formating
part
working but Im having trouble iterating through the names for the
text

My code is

Dim zNmRng

For Each zNmRng In ActiveSheet.Names ' Iterate through names.
If zNmRng = Cells.Find(what:="IMP", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns,
SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False) Then

'Conditional formating code goes here

End If
Next

I am obviously using the find method incorrectly


I also want to have a second condition if, the first conditon is
true
then I need to see if the name has "ID" in the name and if so skip
the code. Im sure that once I figure out how to do the first part,
the
second is just a mater of nesting.

Here are some examples of the named ranges:

IMP_100_Hz ---- do
LC_100_Hz ------ Skip
IMP_ID ------------ Skip
IMP_20K_Hz ---- do

Any help will be appreciated
