Find text string within a named range
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a text string using a named range as the searching area but it doesn't work: Sub names() Dim RngToSearch As Name Dim RngFound As Range Set RngToSearch = ActiveWorkbook.names("tipos_dcto") c = ActiveCell.Value Set RngFound = RngToSearch.Find(c) If RngFound Is Nothing Then MsgBox "xxx" Else End If End Sub Any Ideas?? Thanks in advance. |

Find text string within a named range
Thnks Bob x ur help. But although it makes reference to the named range, the
sub still can't find anything. And returns a "run time error '438': Objet doesn't support this property or method". Thanks.

Find text string within a named range
ActiveWorkbook (and Workbook objects generally) don't have a Range
method. You need either to change it to ActiveWorksheet.Range("tipos_dicto") or to use Peter T's suggestion of ActiveWorkbook.names("tipos_dcto").RefersToRange On Dec 6, 5:28 pm, AshMorK wrote: Thnks Bob x ur help.
