Hi there,
I'm trying to set up a "find / next / replace" input box, but I have no clue how to make vb do this. Currently my code has a three step process. I have an input box that asks for a variable to find. Then when it's found, it puts it all the information on a given row into a spreadsheet. This would work just fine if there was only one row with the requested info. This is the code I have for the find function: - LookFor = InputBox("what is the client name?", "Search")
-
If LookFor = "" Then
-
End
-
End If
-
-
Cells.Find(What:=LookFor, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
-
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
-
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Of course I got this from using a macro. I can even add a line for a find next, but I don't have the correct input box to make this work.
I'd appreciate the help!

Okay, I've made it work much better, but now if the item I'm looking for is not in my search request, the program stops working. Here is the new abbreviated code: - LookFor = InputBox("what is the client name?", "Search")
-
If LookFor = "" Then
-
End
-
End If
-
-
Cells.Find(What:=LookFor, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
-
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
-
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
-
-
y = ActiveCell.Row
-
-
-
'bunch of code to take values from spreadsheet and put them into a form...
-
-
-
Do Until z = vbYes
-
z = MsgBox("Is this the correct client?", vbYesNoCancel)
-
If z = vbNo Then
-
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
-
y = ActiveCell.Row
-
'bunch of code to take values from spreadsheet and put them into a form...
-
End If
-
-
If z = vbCancel Then
-
frmClient.txtRows.Text = fnRow
-
fnScrew
-
End If
-
-
If z = vbYes Then
-
frmClient.txtName.SetFocus
-
End If
-
Loop

it wont work because the loop will continue forever, since is until you say that's the client you're looking for.
just have in mind what to do in case the user answers always no, or you just dont find the name.
Good Luck
Actually, selecting "No" works just the way I want it to, it finds the next entry and adds the info from the row info to the form and then prompts the user with a "Yes/No/Cancel" question asking if it's the right client. This only loops for as long as the user chooses for it to loop.
I know my programming isn't as clean as it could be, however this program only appears to break down if the name I enter (which becomes LookFor) in the Cells.Find command isn't in the data list.
The error message I get when I enter a name that isn't there is: "Object variable or With block not set." Of course, I don't know what this means. I've seen the command "With" in some macros I've done, but I've never had to program one and am not sure how this is done within the Cells.Find line.
What I want the program to do if I enter a client name that isn't in the speadsheet, is to let me know that, "The client was not found, please enter another name." or "No client by that name found." And then clear the form and activate the cell at the bottom of the spreadseet (this part already in another module).
Thanks for your response, I hope this describes more clearly the bug I'm trying to fix.

hi!!
I see the problem, you are always asking the code to activate the cells.find
what you must do is first check that the cells.find is different from nothing.
If the search is nothing, then put the msgbox ("sorry bla bla bal") else put the other procedure with a loop, (in this case it seemed easier to me to put a flag and reference it)
Hope this helps: - lookfor = InputBox("what is the client name?", "Search")
-
If lookfor = "" Then
-
End
-
End If
-
-
Flag1:
-
If Not Cells.Find(What:=lookfor, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
-
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
-
False, SearchFormat:=False) Is Nothing Then
-
-
Cells.Find(What:=lookfor, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
-
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
-
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
-
-
If MsgBox("Is this the correct client?", vbYesNoCancel) <> vbYes Then
-
GoTo Flag1
-
End If
-
Else
-
MsgBox ("The client is not in the list")
-
End If

oh, and you can replace all that macro stuf with something like: -
if not cells.find(lookfor) is nothing then
-
cels.find(lookfor).activate
or something like that
Thank you a billion times over.
This solves the problem. I had no idea that goto commands even existed any more (last time I used one of these was on my commodore 64, back when we had to have a number for every line of code!).
The If Not.... Is Nothing Then command was also key to fix the problem.
Cheers!

Wta is the code structure to put Rst.FindNext in a loop? I'm using what I show
