I have created a user form that will put information into a
spreadsheet into the next available row. I am now trying to create a
function in that same userform that allows me to search a criteria and
to update that same userform with the information allready entered
previosly. once I find that information I want to be able to submit
the data back into the spreadsheet without creating a duplicate.

While the UserForm can have its own click event, it is normally used as
a container for other controls such as command buttons, list boxes,
combo boxes and other controls from the control tool box. Having said
that, you can use a couple of methods to do what you describe:

For Each cell In myRange
If cell = mySearchCriteria Then
myControl.Value = cell.Value '<<adds to control on form
End If

Or

With myRange
Set c = .Find(mySearchCriteria, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
sRng = c.Address
myContolValue = Range(sRng).Value '<<Adds to control on form
End If
End With

As for the part about submitting it back to the spreadsheet without
creating a duplicate...I guess I don't understand what you mean.
