Adding Range for Search
 
Hi,

I have created a search button in an excel spreadsheet.
When I click on the button normal "Find" window opens up.
However, it does not search the entire sheet. I have to
manually highlight the column to search. But if I open the
Find from Menu it searches the sheet without highlighting
anything.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Riz

Adding Range for Search
 
Hi Riz

This might help.
I enter the word I want to find in cell B2 &
then click my search button.

Sub Find()
Range("B2").Select
Cells.Find(What:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= False).Activate
Do
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
ANSWER = MsgBox(" LOOK AGAIN ", vbQuestion + _
vbYesNo, "GOT IT?")
Loop While ANSWER = vbYes
End Sub
