your problem is with this part

Cells.Find(What:="987987", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

instead of that use
dim stALLLLEN as string
stALLLLEN = inputbox("enter number to find")
Cells.Find(What:=stALLLLEN,After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

It keeps on keeping the same data in my macro.
It does not put new copied data into the find box
Can someone help me out w/ this?


There is an identifier # on each sheet. It was supposed to type the number
into the find box and then go to the 2nd sheet and find that number. Next to
that number is a name and it was supposed to copy over that name back on the
1st sheet. But the # in the find box never changes. I don't know how to
copy a new one in there each time I run the macro.
