Thanks Charles for you prompt reply - much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get your modified code to work. I even
tried using the F8-key in the Visual Basic Editor of Excel 97 and went
through line-by-line of code.

I am not sure but possibly myarray does not work all that well - but I
am only taking a educated guess.

I was wondering if maybe you could please take another look at it or on
your request, I could send you my spreadsheet to look at - it's very
basic.

Kind regards,

Chris.

Live Long and Prosper :)

does it help to put the mycnt loop inside of the Sh loop:

For Each Sh In Sheets(SheetsToCheck)
For mycnt = 1 To UBound(myarray)

Set Found = Sh.Columns(myarray(mycnt)).Find(AssetNumber, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
Lookat:=xlPart)
If Not Found Is Nothing Then
Found.Parent.Activate
Found.Activate
Exit For
End If

Next mycnt
Next Sh
