I've been trying to get a FIND working in Excel 2003 which I remember
working fine earlier, but for some reason this attempt has been an
effort in futility. Here's the code generated by recording a macro and
CTRL-F to find the text I'm looking for:

Cells.Find(What:="2005.12.07", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues,
_
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns,
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

Running that code immediately after generating it returns an error! So
does every attempt at using it. I cannot believe that I've discovered
a bug. It works fine from the UI, but dies in VBA.

HELP!

Thanks;
Duncan
