Hi,

The following code snippit works fine:
    Dim iMyValue As Integer
    Worksheets("Config").Activate
    iMyValue  = Cells(Cells.Find(What:="FindMe", After:=Cells(1, 1),
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=
False, SearchFormat:=False).Row, 7).Value

However, if I don't activate, but give the other worksheet as the
starting point, it fails unless it happens to be running from the
worksheet being searched:
    Dim iMyValue As Integer
    iMyValue  = Cells(Cells.Find(What:="FindMe", After:=Worksheets
("Config").Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=
False, SearchFormat:=False).Row, 7).Value

Is it possible to find a value on another worksheet without activating
it?

I have a worksheet called "config". Basically I am trying to look up
parameters from the config worksheet based on a combo box choice on a
different worksheet. Once the user makes a selection, I try to find
the row in the config worksheet that has the parameters for the user's
suggestion, then update any data as needed. But I don't want to go
switching worksheets around while doing this.

Thanks in advance for any help.
