Find Largest Number

[Guest]

I have a database in Excel that we use to generate log numbers, log summary
data, track forms, etc.

I am trying to create a method of looking for a certain number in one column
and if it exists, look at another column to find the highest number used, so
that I can create a new "addendum" for that one number (see below)

28735 0
28736 0
28737 0
28737 1
28737 2
28737 3
28737 4
28738 0
28739 0
and so on

I have created a piece of code to do this, but it doesn't work right. It
finds the number, looks at the offset location but sequences wrong and
continues the loop
(28737 0 / 28737 1/ 28737 0 / 28737 1 / 28737 2 / 28737 0 /
28737 1 28737 2 / 28737 3 / 28737 0 / and so on.

The code is as follows:

Sub TestAddendum()
Dim i as long
Dim lastrow as Long
Dim a, Row as Integer
Dim Rng as Range

LastRow = Range("A10000").End(xlup).row
a=Inputbox("Enter the EO number")
Set Rng = Coulmns(2).Find(a)
For i=1 to Last Row
For row = 0 to i +1
If Rng<> 0 then
MsgBox a & " " & Rng.Offset(row,1)
End If
Next Row
Next i
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Actually, you can lose the VBA altogether if you want. Put the number you're
trying to match in C1, then to find the next unused sequential number:

[ ] = COUNTIF(A1:A22,C1)

Unfortunately, I need the VBA. This is for an Automated Application. I
utilize Excel for the Logs (6 different ones to be exact)and forms, Word for
Documents, Outlook for routing, and soon, Powerpoint for chart/Top 5 problem
reporting for Management. Once this is complete, the Excel portion will be
redeveloped in Access (SQL Back-End) to allow for a smoother flowing
application (While the company I work for prefers Excel, I have been able to
get them to understand that Excel was never developed for Multi-User
interface. The way I have linked the Logs (Databases), a relational database
environment is more efficient and more complete (don't have to hard code the
multi-user emulation).
