I am trying to pass xlvalues, xlwhole, xlbyrows but I am getting an error msg (byref) when I try to compile this. I have the values that I am trying to pass, come from a table that stores the values.
My error is happening at this line:
Set ResultRange = FindAll(iRange, kWord, p3, p4, p5, p6)

Can you please help me set this up correctly?

Code:
        ' Create recordset for Key_List table ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        tSQL = "Select Doctype, keyword, SheetName, RangeToSearch, Param1, Param2, Param3, Param4, Param5, Param6 "
        tSQL = tSQL & "From Key_List Order by ID"
        
        Set rsKL = Connection.Execute(tSQL)
        If Not (rsKL.EOF) Then
             rsKL.MoveFirst
        End If
        
        ' Loop on Key_List table
        Do While Not rsKL.EOF
            ' Get Values form Key_List table in SQL
            kWord = rsKL!KeyWord
            dType = rsKL!DocType
            sName = rsKL!SheetName
            rToSearch = rsKL!SheetName
            p1 = rsKL!Param1
            p2 = rsKL!Param2
            p3 = rsKL!Param3
            p4 = rsKL!Param4
            p5 = rsKL!Param5
            p6 = rsKL!Param6
            
            ' Prep Spreadsheet prior to Searching KeyWords --------------------------
            MainShtZm = ActiveWindow.Zoom
            Range("A1").Select
            ActiveWindow.Zoom = MainShtZm
            
            ' Clean the Sheet for Processing -----------------------------------------
            Call ClearSheetMerged
            
            ' Search KeyWords form Key_List table to see if they exists in the open spreadsheet --------------------------------------
            Set iRange = Sheets(xSheetName).Range(rToSearch)
            Set ResultRange = FindAll(iRange, kWord, p3, p4, p5, p6)
            
            'Sheet name is not constant so check Is Deal Sheet or not?
            If Not (ResultRange Is Nothing) Then
                'GoTo NextCounter
                
                '1st Layout sheet data import code is here ……….
                Sheets(Counter).Columns.EntireColumn.AutoFit ' *********** Added this line to fit dates/numbers/text/etc... ***********
                'HdrSkipRec, DtlSkipRec and Reason are reference parameters.
                If ProcessedXLS = False Then
                    ProcessedXLS = GetItemDetailsData(xSheetName, Hdrid, XLFileFullPath)
                Else
                    ProcessedXLS2 = GetItemDetailsData(xSheetName, Hdrid, XLFileFullPath)
                End If
                
                GoTo NextCounter 'Go to next tab
            End If
            
            rsKL.MoveNext
            
        Loop

This is some of the results from the key_list table:

I found the issue. I had my variables as strings, I had to declare my variables like this:
p3 As XlFindLookIn, p4 As XlLookAt, p5 As XlSearchOrder
