Default How would I make the result row of a lookup the active row ?

Hello all:
Relatively new to Excel, so I hope this question isn't one that could
be answered in Excel 101.

I have a situation where I would like to determine if a particular
'Case No.' (key column) is in a table; if so, make that row the
active row. If not, then give some sort of message saying that the
Case No. couldn't be found.

I've tried several methods of validating the fact that the number
exist and returning its row index in the table. What I've not found
via ordinary functions and/or do not know how to do, is to take the
returned info and navigate the cursor to the desired row in the
table.

What I've done:

A10:D10 - Table Column Headings (Case No., Name, Date, Comment)
A11:D65356 - Possible Table Range
A11:A65356 - 'CaseNo' Range

Sample Table:
Case No. Name Date Comment
123 Joe Blow 1/1/2006 This is a comment
4354 Jane Jones 2/15/2006 Another comment
48314 H. Braddock 2/24/2006 Yet another comment
..
Some of the things I've done to insure the validity of what I want to
do.

C3 - Used as input for the case Number to look for.
D3 - Formula to get the row within the table ( = Match(C3,CaseNo,0) )
E3 - Another formula to ensure that I'm getting data
(=Index(CaseNo,D3)

What I've not been able to find is a way to move the cursor to the
location within the table for the returned info.

Sorry for such a long post, but wanted to provide as much info as
possible. Thanks in advance for any help.

Jim
