The above code searches the designated folder through ALL .xls(Excel files)
and looks for a matching value in cell(J59) from what was placed into the
input box.
Just recently it stopped working.
It seems to search throught he designated folder, but fails to find anything
to match, ALTHOUGH there is a match.

Any ideas how to rectify this?

Corey....

try using

If strComp(mybook.Worksheets(i).Range("J59").Value, input1,vbTextCompare) =
0 Then

or

If lcase(mybook.Worksheets(i).Range("J59").Value) = lcase(input1) Then
