Hi all,
If I record a macro that does a find / replace on a sheet
and then record another one that does a Find / Replace on
the entire workbook, they are identical!!

How can I code a Find / Replace statement that will
always perform on all sheets in my workbook?

e.g.
This is the one for the sheet:
Application.FindFormat.Clear
Application.ReplaceFormat.Clear
Cells.Replace What:="aaaa", Replacement:="bbbbb",
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False,
SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

..... and this is the one for the workbook:

Application.FindFormat.Clear
Application.ReplaceFormat.Clear
Cells.Replace What:="aaaa", Replacement:="bbbbb",
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False,
SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False


The only way I can make it work, is to set the switch in
the Find / Replace Dialog box on the EDIT Menu bar.
Anyone know how to switch that on in the macro??

Thanks for any help ...

Best regards,
Robert

I am using Excel ver 11 by the way

Don hi and thank you for your help!

That worked - except now I have the other problem - when
I want to restrict a find / replace to a single sheet, it
now changes across the wole book - I tried selecting only
the sheet I wanted it to act on but it still changes all
in everything. Any ideas?

regards,
Robert

Then just use a different macro or comment out the 1st and last lines.

Hi Don,
That's what I did but the replace still defaults to the
whole sheet. The only way I can restrict it, is via the
Find / Replace option on the Menu bar and if I set the
options to Sheet, it works for the sheet. I need to
switch this via VB though.

I have 2 situations - one where I will change the entire
contents of a workbook and other times that I want to
change a single sheet.

There are two seperate macros that control this.

I think Excel remembers the last Find / Replace selection
you made and applies it until it is changed manually.
What do you think?

Regards,
Robert
