So, I'm trying to look at the current sheet and see if AWP is anywher
on the page.
I'm using the code below, but I’m getting false positives. I check i
by searching the sheet again with the normal find and nothing come
up.

Dim rngFound As Range
Dim this As String
this = ActiveSheet.Name
Set rngFound = Sheets(this).Columns("A:U").Find(What:=awp
LookAt:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues)
If rngFound Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "d'oh!"
Else
With Sheets(this)
MsgBox "Yahoo"
End With
End If

Also, I’m trying to differentiate between two types of cells. On
which has either a < or and another type that just has a =. Woul
find be the way to go and possibly confine the search to just on
cell?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer,

Chri

I am guessing you do not have Option Explicit at the top of your code module.
Add that line and Select debug - compile. It should highlight the find
statement with a message to the effect that awp is not defined. I think what
you want is What:="AWP". You probably also what MatchCase:=False...

Check out this link on declaring variables...

As for the formulas with < or , yes you can use a find. Change xlValues to
xlFormulas and you will be off to the races...

need AWP in quotes otherwise EXcel treats AWP s variable.

What:="awp",
