    Hello Mhz,

    There is a third option available, but only for expert level programmers. The Find/Replace dialog is not an Excel dialog, but a Windows System dialog. Excel provides a wrapper function to make this low level code easier to use.

    At its heart there a 2 API (Application Interface) calls: FINDTEXT and REPLACETEXT. There are several other API functions used as well. To make all this work requires "hooking" into the Windows messaging system.

    I vote for Carim's solution. It is easier and faster to do. The API is a very powerful programming tool, but requires care and a thorough understanding of what it is doing.

    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Thumbs up I understand..

    Thanks Very Much... Could Not have gotten the Answers From a Better Source.. ...
    I'll try Carim's Alternate Workaround. I felt that It would be
    a bit more complex based on what Ross Described... Man, It's Good to Have
    Experienced Programmers around when you need them.. Thanks Alot...
