Hello,

Thanks again.
I can now go off and do something else within the script if nothing is found

hi,
if nothing was found, how do you trap nothing?
add this to the code before the other msgboxes.

If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox rn & " was Not found."
exit sub
End If

regards

I use the code below to store a row number to a variable after a find.

I would like to trap a NO FIND if the find is unsuccessfull
Any ideas. FSt1 provided the code below

Sub macfindrow()
dim rn as string
dim rng as range
dim therow as long

rn = inputbox("enter something to find")
if rn < "" then
Set rng = nothing
Set rng = range("A1:IV65536").Find(what:=rn, _
After:=Range("A1"), _
Lookin:=xlformulas, _
Lookat:=xlpart, _
SearchOrder:=xlbyrows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=false)
end if
therow = rng.row
msgbox "Found at cell " & rng.address
msbbox "The row number is " & therow
end sub
