Unless your ActiveSheet happens to be either "Plastic Faces" or "Extruded
Cabinets" It won't find the value of "Target.Offset(-3)" since that was on
the ActiveSheet. What you need to do is set that value to a variable and
then use the variable in the find statement.

Thanks for your responses. I am getting a Type Mismatch Error. Forgive me I
am new to VBA. I am still trying to learn the errors, because I get a lot of
them, lol.

My goal here is to double click on a Reference Number (Target) and my code
should extract the first to letters of the reference number. These first two
letters will tell the code what worksheet the reference number will be found.
At that point it will edit data or clear data. Here is the first portion of
my code, which still contains the error.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)

Cancel = True
On Error GoTo LineExit 'if Quote sheet is blank it ignores error
Target = ActiveCell

Hi Ryan, I guess I wasn't very clear before. Here is a modification to your
code.

If Target.Value = "Remove" Then
Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to remove " &
Target.Offset(-3).Text & " from the quote sheet?", vbOKCancel, "Remove
Product")
If Response < vbOK Then Exit Sub
myVar = Target.Offset(-3, 0).Value

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Select Case Left(Target.Value, 2)
Case Is = "PF"
sh = "Plastic Faces"
Case Is = "EC"
sh = "Extruded Cabinets"
End Select

'finds reference number that is above the "Remove" that was clicked
Set removeRef =
Sheets(sh).Rows(1).Find(What:=myVar, _
After:=Sheets(sh).Cells(1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)

Notice the myVar line. It sets the offset range value to a variable, which
is then used in the Find statement. You need to do this since you are using
a case statement to determine which sheet you are going to search, and the
selected sheet probably will not be the one with the offset range in it. The
myVar variable will be the same no matter which sheet is selected, whereas
the Target.Offset(-3) reference only applied to the original ActiveSheet
value. When you go to a new sheet to Find a value of Target.Offset(-3), it
don't know where the Target is. Hope this helps.

Time to post your current code and the indicate the line that causes the error.

Maybe it's a problem when you set your sh variable.

I'd still add code to avoid case differences (PF < pF < Pf < pf) (same with
the Remove check, but I'm repeating myself).

And I'd add a check like:
....
case else
sh = ""
End Select

if sh = "" then
msgbox "not a valid pfx"
else
'do the find
end if

You sure about this statement.

Try adding
msgbox target.offset(-3).value
before and after the find.

I see no reason why that portion of the code is the problem.

The current code is posted below. I just posted the beginning portion of the
code because the entire code is pretty long. The Type Mismatch Error is
highlighted at the Set removeRef variable. This code is placed in Sheet1.

The first two letters will always be capitalized. When I initalize the
UserForm it adds the Two Letters to the time stamp. For example, when the
Plastic Faces UserForm is intialized the Reference Number is "PF" & Date &

Try adding
msgbox target.offset(-3).value
before and after the find.

I see no reason why that portion of the code is the problem.

Notice the myVar line. It sets the offset range value to a variable, which
is then used in the Find statement. You need to do this since you are using
a case statement to determine which sheet you are going to search, and the
selected sheet probably will not be the one with the offset range in it. The
myVar variable will be the same no matter which sheet is selected, whereas
the Target.Offset(-3) reference only applied to the original ActiveSheet
value. When you go to a new sheet to Find a value of Target.Offset(-3), it
don't know where the Target is. Hope this helps.
