Thank you for helping me with this in advance. I'm grateful for all
the help I've found in these groups.

I'm running a macro that is searching a sheet for data.  When it finds
that data, I need a msgbox to pop up with the data from that column's
top cell.

I have it searching the sheet and finding the data listed in the
search.

Because of the possibility of multiple winners, the msgbox will pop up
each time someone scores.

This macro works fine as it is except I would like to add the winners
names to the message boxes.

thanks again,
JasonK

With Worksheets(1).Range("A4:AF54")
   Dim mySearch As String
   Dim winner As String
   Dim myReplaceValue
   mySearch = InputBox("Name? ")
   myReplaceValue = InputBox("Score value? ")
   Set c = .Find(mySearch, LookIn:=xlValues)
   If Not c Is Nothing Then
       firstAddress = c.Address
       Do
           c.Offset(, 1) = myReplaceValue
           c.Offset.Interior.ColorIndex = 1
           c.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 1
           c.Offset(, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 1
           c.Offset(, -1) = "X"
           c.Offset(, -1).Font.Bold = True
           c.Offset.Font.ColorIndex = 2
           c.Offset(, 1).Font.ColorIndex = 2
           c.Offset(, -1).Font.ColorIndex = 2
           
           msgbox TOP VALUE IN COLUMN " scored."
           
           
           
           Set c = .FindNext(c)
           Count = Count + 1
       Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
   End If
End With

if the data you want is in row 1, try adding this to the message box

msgbox "test " & cells(1,c.column).value

I answered this in .misc. Please do NOT waste responders time by posting in
more than ONE group.

Don G,

Usually I ask my questions in .misc. When I did so this time, and
checked to see if the question posted, I saw dozens of ads for items
for sale.  I thought perhaps the group had been abandoned or corrupted
and sought another group to post my query to.

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the answer.

JasonK
