Hi, thanks for your responses- I tested this again in Excel- I wrote a
list
of 1,2,3,4,5,6 in one part of a sheet, then copied this list to another
part
of the sheet. I then selected the first list, did a find and replace (it
only
found one of what i was looking for, which was correct), then clicked
Replace
All and it replaced the other unselected list too!!

And the range remained selected (blocked) during second search too? Or you
clicked somewhere on sheet meanwhile?

Very Frustrating indeed!

Hi

Strange! When I select a range containing several cell before invoking
Replace feature, and perform ReplaceAll, then all search values are
replaced
IN SELECTED RANGE (Excel 2000)

Excel 2003: Is it possible to carry out a find and replace within a
selection
without having to constantly click 'find/replace next'? I constantly
only
need to replace values with names in certain selections, not the
whole
database. it will allow me to FIND all the ones in the section only,
but
when
I click 'replace all' it replaces the entire database. Very annoying!
