Hi

This assumes that the data is in sheet1 of book1. Code below is for the command button from the form run from the output book.
[VBA]
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Set datafile = Workbooks("book1").Sheets("sheet1")
With datafile
Set findit = .Range("A:A").Find(what:=TextBox1.Text)
If Not findit Is Nothing Then
firstadd = findit.Address
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = findit
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = findit.Offset(0, 1).Value
Set findit = .Range("A:A").FindNext(findit)
While findit.Address <> firstadd
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = findit
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = findit.Offset(0, 1).Value
Set findit = .Range("a:a").FindNext(findit)
Wend
End If
End With


End Sub
