Hello,

I'm hoping that what I want to do is possible, as it would save me a
great deal of time.

I have a worksheet, we can call it 'data', that contains several
thousand rows of data. What I'd like to do, is allow the user to enter
their text string in an inputbox, search entire datasheet (excluding
header a1), and when a match is found, for that entire row to be
highlighted (yellow), and an "yes" indicator to be place in the last
column of datasheet - say column 'f'. (doing nothing if no match is
made)

As the final step, I'd like at the same time for that row (and if
possible the row number) to copied to a separate 'results' sheet
(allowing for header a1), and place the users search string in column
'g'. Any subsequent searches would need to append to the results sheet
(ie. leave data from previous search).

I got the folloing code from a previous post, but only does half of
what I want it to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
