Default Find "386", but not "386c"

Using VBA (in Excel 2003), I want to find the next occurrence of a string.

If I'm searching for the string "386", I don't want to find "386c" for
example.



If someone could get me an example of the code to use, I would be very
grateful.

You do not specify what and how you are searching but if it is worksheet
cells then set the following parameter.

LookAt:=xlWhole

Thank you for answer.

That did the trick.
