Capture Find Settings
Range.Find takes a number of argument. What, LookIn, LookAt, SearchDirection,
.... These settings are saved each time you run a find meaning that in order to be safe you are best off to supply values for each of the arguments. However when you do this the values are saved and when the end user brings up their Find or Find and Replace dialogue they are presented with whetever settings that the code left them at. My question... Is there a way to capture these settings prior to running the Find code so that you can restore them to their original state when the find code is complete. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson |

I don't think you can capture them.
But you could do a dummy .find (or .replace) and set them back to what you think should be close to the defaults. Jim Thomlinson wrote: Range.Find takes a number of argument.

I've never found a way to capture them either. As well as restoring assumed
default settings I clear the search string, which is otherwise retained x = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("") ' plus other "unchecked" arg's Regards, Peter T "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Thanks Dave and Peter. I was starting to get the impression that I could not
capture that info but I thought I would ask. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't think you can capture them.
