Using Input Bx to Find Record
I got this code to work and find a record in a range of data and select that
row. But it only finds numbers. I need it to find a string, or a letter- number combination. What do I need to change? Private Sub CommandButton6_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Dim rngOrder As Range Dim lngReferenceNumber As Long lngReferenceNumber = Application.InputBox( _ Prompt:="Enter P.O. Number", _ Title:="Enter P.O. Number", _ Type:=1) Set rngOrder = Worksheets("PO's").Range("A:A").Find( _ what:=lngReferenceNumber, _ lookat:=xlWhole) If rngOrder Is Nothing Then MsgBox "P.O. not found" ActiveSheet.Protect Else With rngOrder .Activate Selection.Offset(0, 1).Select End With End If End Sub |

One way:
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click() Dim rngOrder As Range Dim strReferenceNumber As String strReferenceNumber = Application.InputBox( _ Prompt:="Enter P.O. Number", _ Title:="Enter P.O. Number", _ Type:=2) Set rngOrder = ActiveSheet.Range("A:A").Find( _ what:=strReferenceNumber, _ lookat:=xlWhole) If rngOrder Is Nothing Then MsgBox "P.O. not found" Else ActiveSheet.Unprotect rngOrder.Offset(0, 1).Select End If End Sub In article <8fc8f484cd4a6@uwe, "bamenell" <u48632@uwe wrote: I got this code to work and find a record in a range of data and select that row.

Using Input Bx to Find Record
the code should work on a string only if the string in the text box exactly
matches the cell. If the string in the box contains only a portion of the cell data then make the following change from: xlWhole to: xLPart "bamenell" wrote: I got this code to work and find a record in a range of data and select that row.

No -
by using Type:=1 in the InputBox method, he was restricting entries to numbers. Also by assigning the results to a Long variable, entering letters or an alphanumeric combination would cause an error - the variable should be a String variable.
