to use this:
it is set up now to search column A
put the search string in cell C1
don't remember where I came across this. I think its from Johns 1 line find kb entry

Option Explicit
Sub GoToFnd()
Dim c As Range, FirstFound As String
Set c = Range("A:A").Find(what:=[C1], after:=[A1])
FirstFound = c.Address
c.Activate
Do Until MsgBox("Look for next", vbYesNo) = vbNo
Set c = Range("A:A").Find(what:=[C1], after:=c)
If c.Address = FirstFound Then
MsgBox "No more " & [C1]
Exit Sub
End If
c.Activate
Loop
End Sub

i did... but that was a infinite loop... and if i have only 5 of that name, it will loop all the was till my com can't move... it will add and add and add... the findadd nv matches the findit..

Hi

Interesting. Didn't for me.

Open the 2 attached files. In Alvinkiang, run the macro runform. Enter aa into the textbox, then press the button. The 4 entries for aa should be brought across from Alvinkiang2.xls
