Hi,

I am looking for a better way to search a column.

example of what i am doing;

dim col as string = "C1:C100"
Set fndCell = ActiveSheet.Range(col).Find(11)

the problem is that the above code returns the first cell containing 11
(432110 would be and example)

does anyone know of a 'find' that returns the cell satisfying the exact
search criteria?

Hi Jeff

Look in the VBA help for the arguments of Find.

Jeff I would suggest you try using some sort of text field
that the search string is entered into and the refer back
to that as the search string.

like

use textbox(1) as Search_for
then incorporate your code

dim col as string = "C1:C100"
Set fndCell = ActiveSheet.Range(col).Find(Search_for)

Not sure if that would work but might be worth a shot
