I know this should be simple, but for some reason it's not working for me. I'm trying to locate in a cell the following phrase "5. IS THIS A COMPLIANCE SERVER, IF YES ICD MUST BE PROVIDED:" in a cell that looks like this:
Code:
PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING, ONE SERVER PER TICKET PLEASE.


1. SERVER NAME: 


2. OS (WINDOWS, AIX, LINUX):  


3. VIRTUAL OR PHYISCAL SERVER: 


4. SERVER HOSTS SOX APPLICATION?  


5. IS THIS A  COMPLIANCE SERVER, IF YES ICD MUST BE PROVIDED:  


6. OWNER NAME:

however, find("5. IS THIS A COMPLIANCE SERVER, IF YES ICD MUST BE PROVIDED:",a2) doesn't work.

Any ideas?
