Finding an exact match

Posted by Lewis on December 05, 2001 8:40 AM

Hi,

I am using the following to search for a serial number.

Dim SearchValue As String
If IsError(Cells.Find(What:=SearchValue, After:=ActiveCell, _

The problem is that it does not do an exact match. For example searching for 12 finds the first date 5/12/2001

Is there a way to search for an exact match or restrict my search to a particular range.

Regards

Lewis

If you look at your code, you'll see that you have

Lookat:=xlPart

If you change this to xlWhole it will search for an EXACT match.
