Hi
I have this bit of code

Sub find()
rngY = ActiveCell.Value

Sheets("StkFile").Select
Columns("A:F").Select
Selection.find(What:=rngY, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

ActiveCell.Select
End Sub

Which works fine if there is a match if not it comes up with a debug message.

How can I get it to work even if there is no match and give the user some kind of message - not found!

Also is there a way I could get it to work on double clicking a cell and finding that value ??

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
See if this works putting into the 'ThisWorkbook' module

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

Set Rng = Sheets("StkFile").Columns("A:F").Find(What:=Target.Value, After:=Sheets("StkFile").Range("F" & Rows.Count), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
    Application.Goto Rng
Else
    MsgBox "not found"
End If

End Sub
