Format Problem with Input Box

[will2learn]

I'm experiencing a problem when a number is typed into the input box. Is there anyway to force the entry to be read as text?

Private Sub OptionButton4_Click()
    Dim Na
    Dim Rng As Range
    Dim F As Range
    Dim FirstAddress As String
    Dim R As Long
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Na = InputBox("Job Number")
    
    If Na = "" Then Exit Sub
    
    Set Rng = Range("DutyID")
    Set F = Rng.Find(What:=Na, After:=Rng.Cells(Rng.Rows.Count, Rng.Columns.Count))
    If Not F Is Nothing Then
    
    Sheets("Data").Select
    LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A1:AF1").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("A2:AF" & LastRow).Select
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="=" & Na, Operator:=xlAnd
    Selection.ClearContents
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
    OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
    Worksheets("Data").AutoFilterMode = False
    
    Sheets("Data").Select
    LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
    Range("BX1:BZ1").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("BX2:BX" & LastRow).Select
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & Na, Operator:=xlAnd
    Selection.ClearContents
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("BX2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
    OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
    Worksheets("Data").AutoFilterMode = False
    
    Sheets("Data").Select
    LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
    Range("CB1:CF1").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("CB2:CF" & LastRow).Select
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & Na, Operator:=xlAnd
    Selection.ClearContents
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("CC2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
    OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
    Worksheets("Data").AutoFilterMode = False
    Sheets("StartScreen").Select
    
    Else
        MsgBox ("Not found")
    End If

End Sub

All entries in input boxes, text boxes etc. is text.
I think this change will solve your problem :-

Dim Na As String

You could equally use
Dim Na As Integer
when Excel helpfully does the conversion.

Hi, BrianB

Had already tried your suggestion but did not work. I presume its a format issue but am stuck.

You have not explicitly said so, but I presume that your problem is that your code is not finding values that you know are there ?

I did a quick test of your Input/Find code - it works Ok.

One thing to try is a manual Edit/find - perhaps recording the code and transferring that.

As you suggest, it is necessary to have Find value and worksheet data in the same format, although my test data was 'General'.

This is a possible fault. You have not included the worksheet name :-

Set Rng = Range("DutyID")

Thanks BrianB, have found a work around which has resolved the problem.
