Just a thought for the OP:
since FIND has persistent properties that can cause inconsistent
performance, it is usually best to specify all properties. I doubt Les was
suggesting that you should not do this but only provided a simplified example
for expediency.

Try this, its a little simpler:

Dim taz As Range

Set taz = Cells.Find(What:="Job No")

If taz Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
If taz.Interior.ColorIndex = 37 Then
m = taz.Column
End If
End If

Hi,

Trying to write a macro which finds the text "Job No" and if it has
colorindex = 37 then assigns the column number of "Job No" to the
variable m

Below isnt quite working:


Sub fi()

taz = Cells.Find(What:="Job No", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas,
LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate


If taz.Interior.ColorIndex = 37 Then
m = taz.Column
End If

End Sub
