You need additional code to do something with the results of the entry.
What do you want to do with the result of your search? Here is some sample code to select a column, do a search and color rows. Option Compare Text Sub Delete_By_Criteria() Dim I As Integer Dim iLastRow As Integer Dim Collet As String Set wks = ActiveSheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False Collet = InputBox("Choose Column Letter") whatwant = InputBox("Choose Criteria" & Chr(13) _ & "Wildcards such as *PY* can be used") iLastRow = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, Collet).End(xlUp).Row For I = iLastRow To 1 Step -1 If wks.Cells(I, Collet).Value Like whatwant Then wks.Rows(I).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 End If Next I Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Gord On Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:53:14 +0100, "MillyD" wrote: Can't get it to work....... or I'm doing it wrong Never mind........
