Hi Paul,

Thanks a ton for the code advice. Pretty smooth. I did have to change it a
bit so the "Found" cell would be selected and brought into view. This is to
allow a visual verification that the date stamp is in the correct place.
(End users wishes) The Goof Up message box is the watchdog of that but...

Again, thanks a ton Paul, and Chip.
Regards,
Howard
