The below function and snipplet will find the string "AD" fine. My problem
is that I have a cell before the cell containing "AD" that contains the word
"Grade". Is there a way to use either LCASE or UCASE to differentiate
between lower case and upper case strings? If so, should I modify the
FINDCELL function to use UCase or LCase?


Set cell = FindCell("*" & sSearchString & "*", Sheets(1).Cells)



Function FindCell(searchFor As String, _
searchRange As Range) As Range

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With searchRange

Set FindCell = .Find(what:=searchFor, After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)

End With
End Function

Why not set matchcase to True?

Hi Scott,

Look at "Find Method" in VBA help.

The MatchCase argument can only take the values True or False.

Look at your own syntax. I have cut out the part where you have set
MatchCase to False:

SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
