Hide and seek
Hi all,
XL2003 I am using the following lines in part of a proceedu With Sheets(A).Range("D9:D1000") Set C = .Find(B, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not C Is Nothing Then (More code here...) This works as expected, until I hide column D on Sheets(A). (ie: when D:D is hidden, C is Nothing). I would really like to keep this column hidden. Is there a reasonably tidy solution, or does the 'Find' function intentionally overlook hidden cells. Thanks in advance. Regards - Dave. |

It's better to specify all the parms to the .find method. If you don't, you'll
be inheriting the settings from the last .find -- either in code or manually by the user. Then try looking in xlformulas.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for that. Works a treat now. I got the 'xlValues' from the Find-example in the VBA help. Can you tell me why 'xlFormulas' works, since the number I'm Finding isn't a formula, or contained within a formula? And also why it works on hidden cells when 'xlValues' doesn't? And how do you know these things? And yes, I did ask a lot of questions when I was a kid. Regards - Dave. "Dave Peterson" wrote: It's better to specify all the parms to the .find method.

I have no idea why there's a difference.
And I either learned it here in the newsgroups or by trial and error and had a eureka moment. Dave wrote: Hi Dave, Thanks for that. Works a treat now.
