Hi...
I was wondering how I can keep my find box open while I am entering and
editing data in my spreadsheet. It is very frustrating to have to
continually select the find option, type in what I want to find, close the
window, do any changes or calcs, and then reopen to find the next. I am
using
Excel 2000.

HELP!!!!!

It's programmed that way. You can't change it. However, the CTRL-F keyboard
shortcut might try your patience less than the Edit, Find menu method.
