I tried Doug's suggestion. It works fine as far as it goes. However, I have a special problem in that I want to be able to type in special characters such as é and ō. The input box can't handle those characters (neither can the built-in Navigation find feature), which is one reason I was trying to use the dialog box.

Also, the method doesn't handle repeated finds - I suppose the code could be altered to handle this.

I hate to have anyone spend to much time on answering this, especially since it's just a short-term requirements I have. Thanks for the answers received again.
