Hi,
i am really struggling to create a macro to carry out the following.
( i am quite new to this and presently using a book but things are
explained
fully!)

lets say cell K12 = 2245
i have a range of A2:A50 containing a list between 2220 & 2270

i need my macro to look at the value of K12. Find that value in range, and
make the cell with that value active
so in my list between 2220 & 2270 is an activecell where the value is 2245

i hope this can be done and hope that someone can help me.

Regards,

Nigel
