Search macro
 

I'm trying to make a macro that copies the contents of a cell, pastes i
into the find dialog box, then searches for whatever was pasted.
started it with a recording then tweaked it. Unfortunately, I came t
realize I'm not quite sure how to tell it to paste the copied data int
find. Any ideas? Here's my code:

Dim Term

Term = Selection.Copy
Cells.Find(What:="Term", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext
_
MatchCase:=False).Activat

Assign to a variable then call it - no copy paste required
and u still have the flexability to change cells after the
assignment.

Dim z As String
Range("B3").Select
z = ActiveCell.Value
Cells.Find(What:=z, After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
