Hi Bob,

LOL, you went right over my head with your formulas, thank gawd your last sentence was in English

Ok, so I searched the workbook & checked off case & searched both rows & columns separately & nothing.

I also closed the file & re-opened it b/c you are right, I do leave my computer on 24/7 & since I did the search I don't the file has been restarted.

Unfortunately that didn't solve the problem.

I didn't reboot, but give me a couple of days & I will. I had to shut down yesterday.

Now I'm having problems with another excel file not finding ANY searches even though I know the words are in that file

I have no idea what's going on <sigh>

Thanks


Michelle
