Hard to explain - Excel Macro Code

Thank you for your response - Sorry it took me so long to get back to
you. This kinda had to be pushed aside for a few other things. I am
back working on this and it is erroring out again. I took your advice
and declared FoundCell as a range then I set FoundCell = Cells.Find...
and I am getting a "Run-Time Error '424' Object Required" error. Do
you think you can help me out any further?
TIA
Amanda

You should post your troublesome code, but I'm betting you used:

foundcell = cells.find(....

instead of:

Set foundcell = cells.find(....
