Edit/Find/Options/Look In/Values
When I use the Edit Menu's Find option I always have to change Look in :
Formulas to Look in : Values. How can I change these defaults ? I am almost always looking for a particular value as opposed to a formula. Thanks. -- John Hanley <<<<<<<< To send return email: jphanley @ ix. netcom. com ---------------------------------------- |

Excel tries to help by remembering the last settings you used--except for the first search in that session. You can use that to your advantage. You could make a dummy workbook and put it in your xlStart folder. Have a macro in that workbook that does a find (and sets all the stuff the way you like). Then closes and gets out of the way. Option Explicit Sub auto_open() Worksheets("sheet1").Cells.Find What:="", After:=ActiveCell, _ LookIn:=xlValues, _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False End Sub The workbook opens, does a find (to fix your settings) and then closes to get out of the way. If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Hi Ho Silver wrote: When I use the Edit Menu's Find option I always have to change Look in : Formulas to Look in : Values.
