Hello, new to VBA, so forgive my ignorance.

I created a spreadsheet which I am adding data and assigning a number to the data. I have a search setup to make sure the number I am assigning is not already used. It works great except it cannot differentiate between say 75 and 175 or 1075, which is a problem I can't figure out how to get around

Here is my line of code:

Set rngCust = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Auction Items").Range("B6:B240").Find(Me.txtAddItem)

If rngCust Is Nothing Then

How do I get it to do an exact match to me.txtAddItem?
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Try this

Code:
Set rngCust = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Auction Items").Range("B6:B240").Find(Me.txtAddItem, , xlvalues, xlwhole)

If the content of the textbox is a number and in the cells you also have numbers, then try:

Code:
Set rngCust = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Auction Items").Range("B6:B240").Find(Val(Me.txtAddItem), , xlvalues, xlwhole)

Many thanks sir. I tried the second line as I have only numbers in the textbox and the cells I am searching. Worked like a charm. Thanks for also keeping it simple for this novice.
