    Tony, you are correct, however, it appears the OP wants a VB solution
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Otherwise, in addition to Mumps1's suggested approach, you could also use autofilter or the find+findnext function.

    Kind regards,
