I am trying to create a macro that finds, on a worksheet, all cells with an
alphabetic character (i.e. "a" or "b" or "c", etc.), and then selects them.
ANy ideas??

Try this

Sub buildrange()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set rng = Nothing
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If Not (IsNumeric(cell.Value)) Then 'Changed for previous post
If rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = cell
Else
Set rng = Union(rng, cell)
End If
End If
Next cell
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
rng.Select
End If
End Sub
--
HTH...

Building on Gary's reply to your first post

Sub buildrange()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set rng = Nothing
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If cell.Value = "a" or cell.Value = "b" or _
cell.Value = "c" or cell.Value = "d" Then
If rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = cell
Else
Set rng = Union(rng, cell)
End If
End If
Next cell
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
rng.Select
End If
End Sub

if you mean all cells containing a string constants

Cells.specialCells(xlConstants,xlTextValues).Selec t
