Default XL VBA in VB6: "Unable to get SpecialCells"?

I'm trying to re-write several macros written in XL2000 into an application
written in VB6. I am barely competent in VBA, and much less so in VB.

I have a macro (given by Tom Ogilvy, I believe) that works great in Excel
VBA. The basic idea is to search through only the visible cells of a
filtered worksheet and hide any row that does not contain the search string
value. Like I said, it's fast and great in VBA. In VB, though, I get an
error - "Unable to get the SpecialCells property of the Range class." The
VB code follows. Any and all suggestions are most appreciated.

Ed

Dim MyTarget As String
Dim myFind As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim rng As Object
Dim cntRows As Long

MyTarget = ""
MyTarget = InputBox("What text are you searching for?")
If MyTarget = "" Or MyTarget = "False" Then GoTo Bye

If objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").AutoFilterMode Then
Set rng = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Range
Else

cntRows = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count

MsgBox "This is set for TEST ONLY! Change before distributing."
Set rng = objWkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1", "D" & cntRows)

End If

' **ERROR ON THIS LINE**
For Each Cell In rng.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
