Don,

Thanks. As many times as I have referred to help on this topic, I have
overlooked this one critical sentence in the remarks (...To avoid
problems, set these arguments explicitly each time you use this
method.)

Tom,

I read your response and looked in to other posts in which "persistent
values" may have contributed to errors in results or routines. Below
is a snippet of a response you provided in another thread. Would it be
good practice to employ this suggestion in any find operation?

...After looking at your code, I would suggest you provide all
arguments to the find function. Several of the arguments have
persistent
values and could be causing the find operation to fail mysteriously...

Thanks.

Alan

Directly trying to use the results of a method that could result in an
error
as done in the example would be a poor approach. Even if you are sure
the
sought value is present, failure to account for persistent values of
arguments to that method could again result in an error or inconsistent
results.

Another good point. I am much more a student than a teacher out here.

or. But,why select???

Sub findit1()
'On Error Resume Next 'uncomment if you don't want error if not found
Cells(Range("f7:f100").Find("Production").Row + 1, "F").Select
End Sub

Don,

Good point. This uses find instead.


Dim MyRange As Range
Dim MyFind
Set MyRange = Range("F7:F100") ' adjust as needed
Set MyFind = MyRange.Find(What:="Production", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not MyFind Is Nothing Then
Range(MyFind.Address).Offset(0, 1).Select
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Looping will be slower than FIND. Look in the vba help. If more
than
one
then use FINDNEXT.

Somewhere in column F i have the value "Production". It could be
in
F100 or F157. It is not known.
My cursor is in cell G7. I am using activecell.offset(1,0).select
to
scroll downwards. I want to move my cursor in column G only till
the
row where the cell value in column F is "Production" what would
be
the
syntax?

something like While Not Cells(row, 6).Value = "Production"
