Selection.Find, true or false?

[jeffcravener]

I have the following code:

Range("B7:AA7").Select
        Selection.Find(What:=strWT, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
            :=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
            False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

If the string in strWT is not found, it errors out.

How can I test it to find out if it found the strWT or ont, so that i can pop up a message that says Can not find strWT?

Looked for an answer on the posts, but couldn't find anything specific to the above.

A Find will return a range. so if you set a range to a Find and then test the
range you can determine if it was found or not.

Dim r As Range
    Set r = Sheets(1).Cells.Find(what:="#11#")
    If TypeName(r) <> "Nothing" Then
        MsgBox r.Cells.Row & " - " & r.Cells.Column
        r.Replace what:="#11#", Replacement:="#22#"
    Else
        MsgBox "Not found"
    End If

HTH

No problem. I remembered I wrote the code recently. So easy for me.

Actually.....a related question.

The code is within a loop...so I am trying to clear R, so it does equal nothing befoe the next iteration.

But, it is holding the last value.

I tried:

Set r = Nothing

But its not working.

Weird, could you post the code?

[jeffcravener]

Ignore me!!!

I figured out wah t iwas doing.

It was finding the string in another location on the page.

so i changed Cells.Find to Selection.Find.

sorry for the bother!
