When using Excel I click on 'Ctrl + F' to bring up the 'Find' box,
originally in the 'Look In' box the default setting came up as
'Formulas' now for some reason it has changed to 'Values' and I have
to keep changing it. Does anyone know how to revert the default
setting to 'Formulas'
Any help appreciated.

Thanks - Kirk

Excel remembers this setting from the previous edit|Find (or equivalent code in
a macro).

Once you change it to formulas, it'll be remembered until you change it to
values.

Hi Kirk,

As Dave says the Find arguments are 'remembered', To reset as you want in
future, record a macro, do Edit Find setting the arguments as you want
with an empty 'Find what'. Adapt the recorded macro -

Dim rng as Range
on error resume next
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(recorded macro arguments)

Regards,
Peter T
