Pedie - a bit more information would help. I dont think it is the finding of the "ik" that is the prob, more the selection of that cell and what to do next.

Are there already blank rows under the cell in Col A where you find "ik"?

After your blue line I replaced
Code: 
 ActiveCell.Select
with
Code: 
 Selection.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate

which helped find each "ik"

HTH, Mr R.

Can you please rewrite everything for me?
I want to search only in range(A:A) and not where else...and there will be only 1 ik in this col which is already pre-defined.


PS: what I am trying to achieve here is that every user has different code ids that is ik Range("C4").Value and updating info from different book by finding their code in this sheet and then updating info in the code area only....


Please advice.

Brian, i dont know. when i run the code it randomly paste the copied content anywhere...i'm confused:confused: i just mixed code from here and there...and thought it would work as i thought but not so..

if you have time can you please make this work?


yes you're right...it does not find anything..i just tried this way and then i came to know it does not work...:)

Code: 
Sub y()
Dim ik As String
ik = Range("C4").Value
   Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
    If Not ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A65500").Find(ik, LookAt:=xlWhole) Is Nothing Then
    ActiveCell.Select
    MsgBox "found"
    Else
    MsgBox "not found"
    Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub
