So, instead, I want to call whatever Windows dll that is used with the Windows 98 SE or XP or whatever version "Find" command, which command does "see" the VBA project name. What library is the dll located in and what are the parametes and return values... (Haven't done any C++ for a while...) Right now my VBA code searches the file text for a string completely different from the VBA project name and which string the user may inadvertently add to the worksheet without realizing that it can cause a problem (I don't want to have to use the help or read me file to tell them not to type the string anywhere in the workbook...).
