I am having a bad time trying to get a row number into a variable. I am
missing something very basic in my understanding.

I have the following code

Dim iRow As Integer

Columns("A:A").Select

Selection.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate


I can get to the first row I am in interested in, but I need to save the
actual row number in a variable. My next action is to do another search
to find a row further along. I will then have the 2 row numbers to
develop a selection I need.

Wes,

Your Find needs a What

Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Find(What:="mywhat", After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
myrow = ActiveCell.Row

repeat for myrow2

Dim LngRow As Long

Columns("A:A").Select

' You need to do a find and specify what you are looking for before
' you do a findnext I believe.
Selection.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate

lngRow = ActiveCell.Row

When you are in VBA help looking at the Find method, you can look at the
code example for finding multiple instances (if you are using xl2000 or
xl97).
