Hi
one way: try something like
sub foo()
dim rng as range
dim cell as range
set rng = activesheet.range("A1:A100")
for each cell in rng
if instr (cell.value,"xyz") then
msgbox cell.address
cell.select
exit sub
end if
next
end sub

try this
Sub findxyz()
x = Range("d7:d12").Find("xyz", lookat:=xlPart).Address
MsgBox x
End Sub

sub gotoxyz
Range(Range("d7:d12").Find("xyz", lookat:=xlPart).Address).Select
end sub
