I am trying to write a macro that selects a row if a value in a specified
column meets a certain criteria.

For example, I have a column entitled "YEAR". If the value in this column
is 2005, then I want to select the entire row.

I am able to identify the column and put the cursor in the first cell below
the column header, but I don't know what to write an If Then statement that
will highlight the row if the value is 2005.

The othe problem is that I want to make this macro generic because the YEAR
column is not always in the same location.

Thanks,
Jessica

Assuming we are talking about sheet2 and your headings are in row 1 this
is one way that uses the find method:

Sub GetRow()
Dim yrHead As Range
Dim yrFnd As Range

With Sheets(2)
With .Rows(1)
Set yrHead = .Find("Year")
End With
If Not yrHead Is Nothing Then
With .Columns(yrHead.Column)
Set yrFnd = .Find(2005)
End With
If Not yrFnd Is Nothing Then
.Rows(yrFnd.Row).EntireRow.Select
End If
End If
End With
End Sub

Hope this helps
