Well, I kept looking. I didn't find a solution to the workbook
problem, exactly. The only thing I could recognize amongst all the
find codes I found was one I stumbled is a message that said to select
all the sheets first. That does, indeed, work. But it sure is
scary! <g As an extremely last resort, I suppose I could leave a
modified script advising the user that the sheets are selected (though
don't know how to monitor the state so that this message would pop up,
say, once the find box was closed), but quite frankly, I'm not sure I
really want to go that route.

But there must be something ... So to further jumpstart this thread,
perhaps what I've found so far might help ... (?)

-------------------------------------------
Sub FIND__Standard_EXTENDED()
'SourceURL for idea to select all sheets first, then do a find:

'SourceURL - Select Sheets (since SelSh giving me 1004 at home):

'Sheets.Select ' didn't work at home
'ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Select ' didn't work at home
'Sheets().Select ' didn't work at home

Sheets.Select ' works at office (???!!!)
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show

End Sub
Sub FIND_Simple()
'SourceURL: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71530

Cells.Find(What:=InputBox("Please enter your search criteria",
"Search"), _
After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
End Sub
-------------------------------------------

So the "sheets.select" in the "FIND__Standard_EXTENDED" above is not
ideal at all. Was hoping to find another way to get the find to be
able to search through the entire workbook.

The clue _might_ lie in the second find coding I found, shown above
with title "FIND_Simple". In the area where SearchOrder and
SearchDirection is found, is there no option for "search entire
workbook", or something? That way I don't leave the user vulnerable
with all the sheets selected? Again, it comes back to the problem
that I don't know what to search for so I can't seem to find
anything. I'm sure once someone provides the syntax, a ton of
messages come up <lol. That's assuming, of course, that this can
even be done without going the "sheets.select" route.

Thanks! Much appreciated! :oD
