Thank you Tim. I never payed attention to the formatting FIND options. I
will
have to consider if these options will be helpful.

I really need an answer to the first part. It is a real problem for the
solution I am designing.


Tom,

The solution in the link I included (from PeterT) didn't work for you ?
Here's the relvant part:

******************
I always reset it -

On Error Resume Next
Set r = Cells.Find(What:="", _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
MatchCase:=False)
On Error GoTo 0
******************


Tim

For the formattting options, recording a macro while searching using
formatting will give you a good idea of the syntax.

Eg:

Application.FindFormat.Clear
With Application.FindFormat.Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

Thanks in advance,

I have a problem when ttrying to use the range.replace method in excel.
If
I
have left the find/replace environment in "within" "Workbook" mode and
run
my
VBA code. The routine will update the entire workbook instead of the
selected
range as I would expect.

Is ther a way in VBA to reset the "within" setting to "sheet" prior to
executing the Replace method?

Also, can anyone give a quick explination to Searchformat &
ReplaceFormat
parameters to this function. I can only find examples where they are
set
to
false. And the Microsoft documentation is not very helpful.
