Help with search macro not finding
MS Excel 2007 on XP Pro I cannot get this code to work but cannot see anything wrong with it can anyone assist? It runs but ends up on cell B6 presumably not having found the searched for text. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Sub BACK() ' ' BACK Macro ' ' Sheets("School1").Select Range("B5:QJ5").Select Dim varRange As Range Dim varFound As Variant, varSearch As Variant varSearch = Range("A3") Set varRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B5:QJ5") Set varFound = varRange.Find(varSearch, lookat:=xlWhole) If Not varFound Is Nothing Then varFound.Activate ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate End Sub |

Help with search macro not finding
When you use Find in VBA, it uses the last settings that were used in the
previous find -- either by code or by the user. So if you expect it to be looking for a partial match or ignoring case, it could be failing because of that. I'd specify all those parms in the .find() statement and retest. Wes_A wrote: MS Excel 2007 on XP Pro I cannot get this code to work but cannot see anything wrong with it can anyone assist?
