Well, the 2003 version of Excel has several changes compared to E2000 and
older. As an example the find and replace function now has as default the
active box "replace with", while earlier had "Find what".
For no good reason one has to re learn.

And this is just one change.

"Find what" still comes up as the default on my XL 2003. I've installed SP1.
Have you?

SP1, yes, but Nope, the active box is "Replace with", very annoying.

The "find what" box has focus the first time I hit edit|replace.

But if I do it once, then the next time I use edit|replace, the "replace with"
box has focus.

If it's really important to you, you could use a small macro to show that
replace dialog:

Option Explicit
Sub myReplace()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaReplace).Show "", ""
End Sub
