1 To work on the current worksheet only and Search critria is Col C:C and
Col D

Col C:C contains a 3digit number ie "007" and Col D contains A number with
2 Decimal points ie "8.25"

WhatToFind = Application.InputBox("What are you looking for ?",
"Search", , 100, 100, , , 2)
If WhatToFind <> "" And Not WhatToFind = False Then
For Each oSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

hi
confused.
a "input box" is called by code. if you have code, please post that so we
can see how you are calling the input box. if you don't have code, what are
you calling an input box?
also. what is the differenct between typing into a cell on row 580 and
typing into a input box associated with row 580. and how would xl know that
you want the input box associated with row 580.

post back with more details.

Regards
FSt1

Title:="Recipient", Type:=2, Left:=ActiveCell.Left, Top:=ActiveCell.Top)

Hello Jacob

I thankyou, however please I require your help

The below brings up the input box I type in 007,7.25 the input box closes,
after I hit ok.

I'm not a VBA person but I got the below to go so far, and I would like
please to stop at the found Cells and if that is the only one found go left 2
cells if their is more than one occurrence please invite me to cancel or go
and find the next ie "007,7.25" may be there more than once.

I Thankyou for your time on my issue.

I am not sure whether I understood your query correctly...Try the below

--You are trying to search a string eg: 007,7.25 which exists in ColC and
ColD. (007 in ColC and 7.25 in Col D)

--Try the below macro which will prompt for a input and if you type 007,7.25
it will look for 007 in ColC and also which has got an entry 7.25 in ColD

--I have tried the below in a new workbook. Formatted the columns C and D as
text and entered 007, 7.25 in C10, D10 and C20,D20....The macro will search
and returns the address and prompts whether to continue. If the user selects
no; the the macro will end...

Sub Macro()

Dim varFound As Variant
Dim varSearch As Variant
Dim arrSearch As Variant
Dim strSearch As String

strSearch = InputBox("Type the string to be searched in Col C and D")
arrSearch = Split(strSearch & ",,", ",")

varSearch = arrSearch(0)

With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C:C")
Set varFound = .Find(varSearch, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not varFound Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = varFound.Address
Do
If varFound.Offset(0, 1) = arrSearch(1) Then
varFound.Activate
If MsgBox(strSearch & " found at " & varFound.Address & _
vbLf & "Do you want to continue ?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
End If
Set varFound = .FindNext(varFound)
Loop While Not varFound Is Nothing And _
varFound.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With

End Sub

Hello Steved


I would like to know please if it is possible to search for a value instead
off text.

I have over 700 entires and when I change "001" to text value it shows "1"

The below works as it should if I have cells as text


Sub Macro()

Dim varFound As Variant
Dim varSearch As Variant
Dim arrSearch As Variant
Dim strSearch As String

strSearch = InputBox("Type the string to be searched in Col C and D")
arrSearch = Split(strSearch & ",,", ",")

varSearch = arrSearch(0)

With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C:C")
Set varFound = .Find(varSearch, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not varFound Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = varFound.Address
Do
If varFound.Offset(0, 1) = arrSearch(1) Then
varFound.Activate
If MsgBox(strSearch & " found at " & varFound.Address & _
vbLf & "Do you want to continue ?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
End If
Set varFound = .FindNext(varFound)
Loop While Not varFound Is Nothing And _
varFound.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With

End Sub
