Simple macro help
 

Hello,

I have a simple macro problem, which is driving me crazy. I built a
marco to open a daily text file in excel. Once the report is open I do
a Find text, once it finds the text I want it to delete 7 rows up and
then 2 rows down. The only problem I have is that I do not want the
formula to use cell reference like the one below has. Reason is that
the rows I want deleted change for one day to the other. Below is a
example from my macro.

Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
Rows("164:170").Select
Range("A170").Activate
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Rows("164:165").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Columns("A:A").Select

Thank you very much, any help will be great.
