I am using :

Code:
Cells.Find(What:="..", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
        , SearchFormat:=False).Activate

to find double dots, it shows up with "error 91 object variable or with block variable not set" when there are no ".." double dots found.
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Try like this

Code:
Dim Found As Range
Set Found = Cells.Find(What:="..", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
        , SearchFormat:=False)
If Found Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Not found", vbInformation
Else
    Found.Select
End If
