Hey Rich, does this help:

code:
$Row = $Excel.Range("A1:A5").Find("Rich",,-4163,2)

?"Value=" $Row.Value
?"Row=" $Row.Row
?"Column=" $Row.Column
-4163 means search by value (may be the default anyways) and 2 means xlPart. Dont forget that the search starts after the first cell specified in the range.
