Help needed with FIND routine.
It's amazing what you can find in HELP.
FindNext Method
See Also Applies To Example Specifics
Continues a search that was begun with the Find method. Finds the next cell
that matches those same conditions and returns a Range object that
represents that cell. Doesn't affect the selection or the active cell.
expression.FindNext(After)
expression Required. An expression that returns a Range object.
After Optional Variant. The cell after which you want to search. This
corresponds to the position of the active cell when a search is done from
the user interface. Note that After must be a single cell in the range.
Remember that the search begins after this cell; the specified cell isn't
searched until the method wraps back around to this cell. If this argument
isn't specified, the search starts after the cell in the upper-left corner
of the range.
Remarks
When the search reaches the end of the specified search range, it wraps
around to the beginning of the range. To stop a search when this wraparound
occurs, save the address of the first found cell, and then test each
successive found-cell address against this saved address.
Example
This example finds all cells in the range A1:A500 that contain the value 2
and changes their values to 5.
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500")
Set c = .Find(2, lookin:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = 5
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstAddress
End If

Dear All,
I'm a newbie to VBA, running Excel 2000.
I have got myself very confused with a find routine that
I am trying to write. I take a user input, a string,
then I want to be able to look on three different
worksheets to find the value and return the row number,
of where the found item is. I then want to be able to
repeat the routine, as desired with a find next type
command. Advancing to the next worksheet once one has
been searched.
Can anybody please supply me with some sameple code to
work with.
TIA
Matthew
