I need to find a specific ID in a database, then paste all of the stuff
below it into a new document. Now all of the Stuff that I want to copy
starts with GO: and I want it to copy every row below the ID, until it
runs into TC. TC is the beginning of the next ID.

How do I go about making something start copying right below something
it finds for an unkown number or rows, and then stop when it sees a
specific word?

Assuming you are running down column A. Change start cell if any
different.

Sub IDCopy()
[A1].Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = "GO"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
startrow = ActiveCell.Row
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = "TC"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
endrow = ActiveCell.Row - 1
Rows(startrow & ":" & endrow).Select

Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Paste: Application.CutCopyMode = False
[A1].Select
End Sub

Dim cell as Range, id as Variant
Dim rStart as Range, rEnd as Range
for each cell in selection
if cell = ID then
set rStart = cell.offset(1,0)
end if
if not rStart is nothing then
if cell.Value = "TC" then
set rEnd = cell.offset(-1,0)
exit for
end if
end if
Next
set rng = Range(rStart,rEnd)
rng.EntireRow.copy Destination:=Worksheets("Other").Range("A1")

' now you can loop through the results and delete anything that doesn't
start with GO

Sorry guys but neither of those worked. Somethinglikeant your's just
ran through my document and didn't do anything. And I don't know
enough about VBA to tweek it.

Tom, you've helped me out before and I'm really glad you replied. But
Your's also didn't work either. I just slapped it between a sub () and
an end sub. But again, I don't know enough VBA to edit it. I've
attached a small excel file with samples of what I'm working with.

In sheet1 You'll find the TC ID, which is what I'm searching Sheet2
for. When I find it in Sheet2 I copy and paste everything under the TC
ID until the next TC ID below it. And all the information begins with
GO:

Please help me out guys.:(

Sub Tester1()
Dim cell As Range, id As String
Dim rStart As Range, rEnd As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet, rng As Range
id = "TC38169"

Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), _
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
If Application.CountIf(rng, "*TC*") = 0 Then
MsgBox "Wrong Sheet Active"
Exit Sub
End If
For Each cell In rng
If Not rStart Is Nothing Then
If Left(cell.Value, 3) = "TC" Then
Set rEnd = cell.Offset(-1, 0)
Exit For
End If
End If
If cell = id Then
Set rStart = cell.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next
Set rng = Range(rStart, rEnd)
With ThisWorkbook
Worksheets.Add After:=.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
End With
Set sh = ActiveSheet
rng.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=sh.Range("A1")


End Sub

worked for me with your test file.
