    You need to set a Range for the Find function to search in.

    Also you do not set Week anywhere in your code previous to the search.
    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

    Unfortunetly I cannot unload the document which doesn't make this easy for you.
    I have taken a screen shot and attached which will hopefully help you.
    When I open the workbook, the VBA script searches for the current week and then moves to the cell directly under the 'Start' heading.

    Thanks for the advice so far... I have changed the code slightly, I now have;

    If I run through this code using 'F8', I get to the line
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and I get the same error as mentioned above "Run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method" but if I then run through it a second time it works fine, this pattern continues. It's weird and I can't work it out.

    Re: VBA .Find Function resulting in error message

    Do you have any SelectionChange event code in the worksheet? Do you have any references set to other object libraries in your code (e.g. Word)?

    And it's definitely a 438 error? If so, that makes no sense at all.

    Re: VBA .Find Function resulting in error message

    As per Rory Post 9, then your error could not have been 438...

    Thanks for rep +
