Help finding Row ID of Row where value in cell matches a value

[Jason E. Schaitel MCP]

Every month this my script will run and add a value to the next blank
row.

I have a worksheet like this

A B
---------- ---------
1 May 2004 1,234,543
2 June 2004 1,244,932
3 July 2004 1,251,355
4 Aug 2004
5 Sept 2004

If I run the script in August I expect my code to know (one way or
another) that it needs to put that month's value in B4. The next month
it should know to put the value in B5, etc

I have seen some people use some function on the B column to find the
nect available cell instead of searching A and finding a date match
and getting the row ID.

Here is my script by the way in case anyone is interested. I am sure
you could point out more elegant ways I could be doing all this.

thanks

try something like:

RowNum = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1,0).Row
