Hello,

I've written a simple macro that searches column A for whatever the user
inputs in the find dialogue box. I would like to now close the box and
hightlight or select the found row.

Here's what I have so far:

Columns("A:A").Select
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show

Thanks for any help!

This might be easier.

Sub findvalue()
ans = InputBox("Search for?")
Columns(1).Find(ans).Select
End Sub

Thank you. This does close the dialogue box; is there a way to make it
hightlight/ select the whole row?

I'm sorry, one more thing also... if it doesn't find what I've entered, can
it return a message to say "Code not found" instead of bringing the debug
editor up?

Thanks again!
