Change event code Find .Activate does not activate Target.value
 

If I enter a number on sheet 1 I want to know if it exist on any of the sheets in the array.

As is, if I enter 2468 on sheet 1 it runs through the array sheets but does not activate the number 2468 on sheet 4 which I am using for the test. The other sheets have no matching number in my test.

I can un-comment the MsgBox and it verifies "CheckNum" as the sheets are tested, but nothing happens on sheet 4 where there is indeed a true match to CheckNum.

If I run the Macro 8 sub in sheet 4 module it selects the 2468 as I would expect from both it and the change event.

If I try this line I get an yellow highlight error. Doesn't want the . in front of UsedRange.

.UsedRange.Find(What:=CheckNum).Activate

My ultimate goal is to produce a MsgBox on sheet 1 telling the user that the number exists on ...Sheet 3 $D:$6, for example or "Not Found".

Gotta get past this elusive Find code first.

Thanks,
Howard

no, the error comes because you only can select or activate a cell on a
active sheet. You first have to activate the sheet then you can activate
the cell.

Works great, I did make the small change you posted.

Thank Claus.
