VBA search for value on next sheet - vba

Question

is there I way for searching a value on the next sheet (ActiveSheet.Next.Activate) without jumping on to it?
Here the whole Code:
the problem is, it jumps to the next sheet even if there is no searched value.
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Loc As Range
Dim StrVal As String
Dim StrRep As String
Dim i As Integer
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
i = 1
Call Replacing
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
i = 2
Call Replacing
End Sub
Public Sub Replacing()
StrVal = Userform1.Textbox1.Text
StrRep = Me.Textbox1.Text
if Trim(StrVal) = "" Then Exit Sub
Dim fstAddress As String
Dim nxtAddress As String
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
With ws
Set Loc = .Cells.Find(what:=StrVal)
fstAddress = Loc.Address
If Not Loc Is Nothing Then
If Not StrRep = "" And i = 1 Then
Loc.Value = StrRep
Set Loc = .Cells.FindNext(Loc)
ElseIf i = 2 Then Set Loc = Range(ActiveCell.Address)
Set Loc = .Cells.FindNext(Loc)
nxtAddress = Loc.Address
If Loc.Address = fstAddress Then
ActiveSheet.Next.Activate '****Here it should jump only if found something on the next sheet****
GoTo repeat
nxtAddress = Loc.Address
End If
If Not Loc Is Nothing Then Application.Goto ws.Range(nxtAddress), False
End If
i = 0
End If
End With
Set Loc = Nothing
repeat:
Next ws
End Sub
the variable "i" which switches between the values 0, 1 and 2 is bound to two buttons. these buttons are "Replace" and "Skip (to next found value)".

Answer 1

This code asks on each occurrence of StrVal whether you want to replace the value or skip it.
I found a problem checking if Found_Address = First_Found_Address:
If you've replaced the value in in First_Found_Address it won't find that address again and miss the starting point in the loop.
Also the original source of the code stops at the last value using Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress. The problem here is that if the value in c is being changed eventually c will be Nothing but it will still try and check the address of c - causing an error (Range Find Method).
My solution to this is to build up a string of visited addresses on the sheet and checking if the current address has already been visited using INSTR.
I've included the code for calling from a button click or from within another procedure.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
FindReplace Userform1.Textbox1.Text, 1
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
FindReplace Userform1.Textbox1.Text, 1, Me.Textbox1.Text
End Sub
Sub Test()
FindReplace "cd", 1, "ab"
End Sub
Sub FindReplace(StrVal As String, i As Long, Optional StrRep As String = "")
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Loc As Range
Dim fstAddress As String
Dim bDecision As Variant
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
'Reset the visited address list on each sheet.
fstAddress = ""
With ws
Set Loc = .Cells.Find(what:=StrVal, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchDirection:=xlNext)
If Not Loc Is Nothing Then
Do
fstAddress = fstAddress & "|" & Loc.Address
Loc.Parent.Activate 'Activate the correct sheet.
Loc.Activate 'and then the cell on the sheet.
bDecision = MsgBox("Replace value?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Replace or Select value?")
If bDecision = vbYes Then
Loc = StrRep 'Raise the blade, make the change.
'Re-arrange it 'til it's sane.
End If
Set Loc = .Cells.FindNext(Loc)
If Loc Is Nothing Then Exit Do
Loop While InStr(fstAddress, Loc.Address) = 0
End If
End With
Next ws
End Sub
