Default search by keyword

Hi Subliminal,

Try assigning the following code to a button::

'=============
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rngFound As Range
Dim sStr As String

Set rng = Range("A1")
sStr = rng.Value

Set rngFound = Cells.Find(What:=sStr, _
After:=Selection, _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext)

If rngFound.Address = rng.Address Then
Set rngFound = Cells.FindNext(rngFound)
End If

rngFound.Activate

End Sub
'<<=============

If you were unsure of the required syntax, you would find the macro recorder
an invaluable tool.

Hello and "Happy Days off for Celebrating Something...or not".

I was trying to make a macro that would allow me to type a word in A1,
and touch an object to do a keyword search based on A1.

Can I do that?


Thanks all!!

SJ.
