Search Tool
 

Hi all,

I have a large spreadsheet with cols A-G that contain data. I am tryin
to implement a search tool on the spreadsheet - I can enter a string an
then press cmdButton and then it will find it for me. This work usin
the following code;


Code
-------------------

Private Sub cmdSearchSheet_Click()

Dim searchString As String, i%

searchString = txtSearch.Text

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Columns("A:G").Select
Selection.Find(What:=searchString, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Select

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

ActiveCell.Select

End Sub

-------------------


My problem is - how do I carry on searching (Find Next) the strin
within these columns, so it searching for every instance of th
searchString and not just the first one..

TIA, any ideas appreciated

Search Tool
 

Hello again,

I have now produced the following - it works but could possibly b
coded more efficiently;


Code
-------------------

Option Explicit
Dim counter As Long

-------------------



Code
-------------------

Private Sub cmdSearchSheet_Click()

Dim searchString As String, i%
counter = counter + 1
searchString = txtSearch.Text

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Columns("A:G").Select

If counter 1 Then
Selection.Find(What:=searchString, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
For i = 1 To counter
Selection.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
Next i
Else
Selection.Find(What:=searchString, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

ActiveCell.Select

End Sub

-------------------

This code is more efficient - works perfectly too;


Code:
--------------------

Private Sub cmdSearchSheet_Click()

Dim searchString As String, i%
counter = counter + 1
searchString = txtSearch.Text

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Columns("A:G").Select

If counter = 1 Then
Selection.Find(What:=searchString, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Else
For i = 1 To counter
Selection.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
Next i
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

ActiveCell.Select

End Sub
