Hi,
I am having trouble recording a macro that will copy the text in a
cell, and paste it into the Find box, and then find the text (on a
seperate worksheet). The macro Finds the text that is in the cell when
I recorded it, but I want it to find was is there at the time that I
run the macro.

Thanks

More Specifically, I want the macro to work as follows:
1. Go to a specific Cell
2. Copy to the clipboard all the text in that cell.
3. Paste what it copied into the Find box.
4. Go to a specific worksheet.
5. Go to the first cell (Control+home).
6. Paste what's on the clipboard into the Find Box and Find.
7. Select the contents of that cell, and Copy it to the clipboard.
8. Go to a specific worksheet and a specific cell, and paste the
contents of the clipboard in it.
8. Go to a specific worksheet and cell, and copy the clipboard contents
into it.

FOLLOWING IS THE CODE AS IT WAS RECORDED, WITH MY COMMENTS IN IT TO
POINT OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

Sub Macro5()

Application.Goto Reference:="R9C7"
ActiveCell.Range("A1:T1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7" [WRONG! COPY WHATEVER IS
IN THERE AT THE TIME I RUN THE MACRO]
Sheets("SCIT").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R1C1"
Cells.Find(What:="1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7", After:=ActiveCell,

, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 " [WRONG! ACTIVATE
WHATEVER IS FOUND THERE AT THE TIME I RUN THE MACRO]
Sheets("FINDER").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R34C7"
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"Major-Mode 1 - Ionian (The Major Scale) 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 "
[WRONG! THE TEXT SHOULD BE WHATEVER IS IN THERE AT THE TIME I RUN THE
MACRO]
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
End Sub
