I want VBA to find information in the worksheet, where the VBA find function uses the supplied search base from the excel sheet.eg above. The VBA code must find John & not Johnny & select John; if changed to Mary the code must find Mary & not MaryS.
Can someone help with the VBA code for this?
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
How about
Code:
Sub IanPM()
   Dim Fnd As Range
   Set Fnd = Range("A:A").Find(Range("B2").Value, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
   If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then Fnd.Activate
End Sub
