I have posted about this in a VBA forum but have not gotten a response and I am an impatient dude so why not go ahead and post it ici:

See, I do not have much experience with the VBA, but I want to write a program part of which will locate a certain row or rows in a spreadsheet that contain certain data in Column X (like "Henson" or "Nguyen" or "Hutchens"); then extract other data from a couple other columns in that row and spit it into a different spreadsheet (and then do the same thing until it's hit all the criterion-satisfying rows).

It seems that the Range.Find method is the way to do this. Am I wrong? VBA's documamentation says that the return value for this method is "A Range object that represents the first cell where that information is found."

When I run this code:

Resulticus = Range("X:X").Find("Henson")
MsgBox (Resulticus)

The MsgBox says "Henson Stewart". Which is indeed the content of the cell I expected to be found, but "Henson Stewart" is a string o' text. I want a Range object a)because consarn it, that's what the documamentation said I'd get; and 2)because I need to get the row number of this cell so I can copy the other four cells' worth of data out of that row, stick it into my other spreadsheet, and allow my for-next loop to go merrily along.

Does Range.Find actually return a object? When I commented out the MsgBox and used either "Resulticus.Select" or "Resulticus.Activate" I got a runtime error 424 "Object required." So I went into the General/Declarations section of the code editor and did a "Dim Resulticus as Object", and then I got runtime error 91 "Object variable or With block variable not set"

Wha goin' on is...how do I get this Range.Find method to work?
