Hello,

Thank you for your help!

I figured out what my problem was and here is the complete working
code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'code works

Dim SelRange As Range
Dim Addr As String
Dim oSearch As Object, sFind As String

'Get the address, or reference, from the RefEdit control.
Addr = RefEdit1.Value

'Set the SelRange Range object to the range specified in the
'RefEdit control.
Set SelRange = Range(Addr)

'Apply a red pattern to the SelRange.
'SelRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

'Finds the information
sFind = TextBox1.Value

With SelRange
Set oSearch = .Find(sFind, , xlValues)
If Not oSearch Is Nothing Then
oSearch.Select
Else
MsgBox "No match could be found"
End If
End With

'Unload the userform.
Unload Me

End Sub

Thanks,
jfcby
