Can't get the find statement to work correctly

[Guest]

I am using Excel 2002. I am wanting to open all .xls files in a directory
check to see if it contains a specific text and then paste the filename in a
cell if it contains that text. Everything is working except the file name is
being pasted in the cells even if the file does not contain the text.

I have used some code I got from the internet to loop through all of the
files and open them and the paste all the files names in cells.

Here is the code I added:
With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set c = .Find("Adam")
End With
If c = "Adam" Then


Here is all of the code put together:
'now we can open the files in the array MyFiles to do what we want
On Error GoTo CleanUp
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set basebook = ThisWorkbook

'clear all cells on the first sheet
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells.Clear

'start row for the info from the first file
rnum = 1
'loop through all files in the array (MyFiles)
If Fnum > 0 Then
For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyFiles(Fnum))

Set sourceRange = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("a1:c1")
SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count
Set destrange = basebook.Worksheets(1).Range("A" & rnum)

'This will add the workbook name in column D if you want
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(rnum, "D").Value = MyFiles(Fnum)

With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set c = .Find("Adam")
End With
If c = "Adam" Then
sourceRange.Copy destrange
End If
rnum = rnum + SourceRcount



mybook.Close savechanges:=False
Next Fnum
End If
CleanUp:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you might need to specify an address range.

As an example:

With Worksheets(1).Range("A1:IV500")
Set c = .Find("Adam")
End With
If c = "Adam" Then
MsgBox c.Address
End If

If I don't specify a range, I get an error on the Set (Run time error 438)

If I specify a range of just A1, I get an error on the If because c is
nothing (Run time error 91)
