Hi All.........
I am in need of a macro beyond my skill level, if someone please. I want to
do a FIND on column A and have a pop-up ask the user for a number to find,
then find it and color the whole row gold, then goto column A of that
row..........my efforts at recording brings in specific cell locations which
will not work for multiple searches.

Here's my recorded macro.......
Sub FindVendorNumber()
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Find(What:="a01309", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False).Activate
Rows("781:781").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Range("A781").Select
End Sub

Any help would be much appreciated.........

Sub FindVendorNumber()
Dim oCell As Range
Dim val

val = InputBox("Please supply number")
If val < "" Then
Set oCell = Columns("A:A").Find(What:=val, _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not oCell Is Nothing Then
With oCell.EntireRow.Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
oCell.Select
End If
End If

End Sub

Many thanks Bob, but I get a "1004" error "Unable to get the Find Property of
the Range Calss".... on the "Set oCell" line.....I forgot to mention I'm
using XL97, could that be the problem?

I can't tell if this thread has been answered or not. The quick answer is
to assign the results of the search to a range object
Dim c as range
c=Selection.Find 'and so forth
then you can get the row from c:
myRow=c.Row
