What is this function trying to do...I have added two sheets and not this
function does not complete and Run time error "1004". Application-Defined or
Object-error Defined occues.....help

Function find_range(worksheetcur As Worksheet, criteria As String, rowoffset
As Integer) As Range
Dim check As Range
Dim tmprange As Range

Set check = worksheetcur.Range("A1")
flag = 1
Do While flag = 1
check1 = InStr(check.Value, criteria)
If check1 > 0 Then
Set tmprange = check.Offset(1 + rowoffset, 1)
flag = 0
Else
Set check = check.Offset(0, 1)
flag = 1
End If
Loop
Set find_range = tmprange
End Function

Your code is advancing past column 256 causing an error.
the code below will stop the error. It will not fix the error.

You really need to go to one of the old sheets and find the call to the
function. Use Edit and search for "find_range" (don't include double
quotes). then look at the second and third parameters. the second parameter
is the string checked and the third parameter is the row that is being looked
at. You need to do something similar on the new worksheets.

This function may not be on a worksheet but being called from another macro.
Also check inside the VBA editor for a "CALL find_range".





Function find_range(worksheetcur As Worksheet, criteria As String, rowoffset _
As Integer) As Range
Dim check As Range
Dim tmprange As Range

Set check = worksheetcur.Range("A1")
flag = 1
Do While flag = 1
check1 = InStr(check.Value, criteria)
If check1 > 0 Then
Set tmprange = check.Offset(1 + rowoffset, 1)
flag = 0
Else
If check.Column <> Columns.Count Then
Set check = check.Offset(0, 1)
Else
flag = 0
End If
End If
Loop
Set find_range = tmprange
End Function
