Problem with cells.Find within a loop
Hi, I'm having a problem with the following code. Basically, it keeps falling over whenever I try to make the FIND bit run within a loop. I'm now getting an error message "Object Required" which refers again to the line the FIND bit is in. Here's the code: Sub copyProjectDates() Dim sourceFile As Workbook Dim DestFile As Workbook Dim copyRange As Range Dim destRange As Range Dim foundCell As Range Dim c As Range Dim searchData As String 'ProjectRange = Range("B4:B42") Set sourceFile = GetObject("H:\Schedule\Projects Overview.xls") For Each c In Range("B4:B42") searchData = c.Value With sourceFile.Sheets("Sheet1") Set foundCell = Cells.Find(What:=searchData, _ After:=[A1], _ LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlWhole, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, _ MatchCase:=False).Activate If Not foundCell Is Nothing Then foundCell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) Else c.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255) End If End With Next sourceFile.Close SaveChanges:=False End Sub Any ideas gratefully received, Cheers, Jo ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ ~~Now Available: Financial Statements.xls, a step by step guide to creating financial statements |

I don't see where you've initialized the Range
variable "c". Unless there's more to this code, I'd say that's your problem. -----Original Message----- Hi, I'm having a problem with the following code.

Jo
Remove the .Activate at the end of the Find line. If it doesn't find the cell, foundCell will be Nothing and issuing an Activate method on Nothing will give you that error. Another note: You are using a with statement, but you're not preceding your dependent properties with a period With sourceFile.Sheets("Sheet1") Set FoundCell = Cells.Find(...) End With should be With sourceFile.Sheets("Sheet1") Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(...) End With Note the period before Cells. -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel www.dicks-clicks.com Post all replies to the newsgroup. "jowatkins" wrote in message ...
