i missed off the last closed bracket

SET rResult = Range("a:a").Find(What:="abc", After:=Range("A44") )

FIND returns a range object, hence the DIM as Range and we sue SET to assign
the found object to it.

I am getting a type mismatch on this

Dim intResult As Integer
intResult = Range("a:a").Find(What:="abc", After:="A44",
LookIn:=xlValues,_
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
SearchDirection:=xlNext,_
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Row

I have also tried
intResult = Cells.Find(What:="abc", After:="A44", ...).Row
intResult = Selection.Find(What:="abc", After:="A44", ...).Row
