Howdy all,
I am trying to get the row index of a cell in a column that has some
particular text in it... For instance. In column A, I know there is a
cell with the text: "*CAPTURE.DATA" in it. How do I programmatically
get the row index of that cell? What I really need is the index of the
net row where that data really starts....

Thanks in advance, for helping a excel newbie!

Try something like

Dim FoundCell As Range
Set FoundCell = Range("A:A").Find(what:="*CAPTURE DATA",
LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Found at row: " & FoundCell.Row
Else
MsgBox "Not Found"
End If
