working on a search of excel wrkbk, with a user form out front. would rather be doing it in access but need to keep it thin for distribution. Having problems trying to deeal with partial search entries, looking for n1234abc but enter n1234, want to bring up all that contain the partial if someone does't know the whole part number or if they enter it wrong.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

been trying to do it in VBA.
