One thing that I've found to be a pain in Excel VBA is performing
search in a document. But with the help from a few of you in thi
forum, I've been able to come up with something that I think work
pretty good (I may be wrong, but what do I know... I've only been usin
Excel and VBA for about a month now). So here's what I'm giving bac
to this group.

This may need a little bit of an intro...
First, just copy and paste this code into a blank UserForm.
Add a CommandButton and rename it to cmdClose.
Add a ListView control and rename it to lvwSearchResults.

Now add some code to call the form and perform a search.
The results will be put into 3 columns: Sheet name, cell address an
cell value.
When you click on any of the entries, it will auto-magically take yo
to the selected sheet/cell.

Enjoy!

If WhatToFind < "" And Not WhatToFind = False Then
For Each oSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
