Probably too easy...change range to be one row down.
 

I use a cell.find command to find a row col with a certain item. Now
I want to alter that so that its one row below after the find. Here
is what I have so far:

Dim FirstCell As Range
Dim LastCell As Range
Dim SortRange As Range

Set FirstCell = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="Pills", After:=[A4],
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False)

' need to set FirstCell to be one row lower to sort the data

Set LastCell = ActiveSheet.Range("E65536").End(xlUp) ' end of data
lines will be in E column
Set SortRange = ActiveSheet.Range(FirstCell, LastCell)
' ActiveSheet.SortRange.Sort ' use A column as key

Probably too easy...change range to be one row down.
 

I'd try:

Set SortRange = ActiveSheet.Range(FirstCell.offset(1,0), LastCell)

After the Find statement:

FirstCell = FirstCell.Offset(1, 0).Address

Then to get your sort range:

Set LastCell = ActiveSheet.Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Address

SortRange = Range(Firstcell & ":" & LastCell)

That should be Set SortRange = Range(FirstCell & ":" & LastCell)
And it wouldn't hurt to insert the worksheet name in the Set statement.

Not quite.
FirstCell = FirstCell.Offset(1, 0).Address
will set the value to the offset address. So "pills" becomes $A$21.

final code that works...just for reference:

Sub Alpha_Click()

Dim FirstCell As Range
Dim LastCell As Range
Dim SortRange As Range

Set FirstCell = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="Pills", After:=[A4],
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False)

Set LastCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)
Set SortRange = Range(FirstCell.Offset(1, 0), LastCell.Offset(0, 5))
SortRange.Sort Key1:=FirstCell

End Sub

Did you not say you wanted the sort range to start one row lower than the
find cell?
If so, then Offset(1, 0) is one row lower. If you want "pills" included in
the sort range, the just use the FirstRow.Address as the front end of the
range. Or give a better explanation of what you mean by one row down.
