Find() results in Object variable or With Block variable not set - vba

Question

Thanks for reading my post. I'm new to Excel VBA and have run into a wall debugging a call to Find(). I've gone through several posts on this site and others but so far each fix I've tried has been unsuccessful.
I am writing code to process elements out of financial reports. Each report contains one or more multi-row & multi-column blocks of cells with details describing a project. The size of each block isn't consistent, but each always begins in the top left with "Client Name". So I want to iterate through these blocks keying off that text, then pulling out needed elements.
There's no while loop here yet, as I'm running into the error just setting up the first condition.
Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
Here's the section of code from within the Sub, with the error coming in the final line assigning cursorProject:
' store the next report to process
Dim nextReport As String
Dim sourceSheetName As String
Dim sheetSource As Worksheet
nextReport = rptMedia
' copy the worksheet into rptBurn and get that worksheet's name
sourceSheetName = GetSheet(nextReport)
Set sheetSource = Workbooks(rptBurn).Worksheets(sourceSheetName)
sheetSource.Cells.EntireRow.Hidden = False
sheetSource.Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Workbooks(rptBurn).Activate
' process the sheetSource into sheetCurrent
' set constants
Const constCursorKey As String = "Client Name"
Const constClientColumn As String = "B"
Const constClientNameOffset As Integer = 2
Const constProjectLeft As Integer = 2
Const constProjectRight As Integer = 52
' get range in Client Name column of project entries
Dim cursorStart As Long
Dim cursorEnd As Long
Dim cursorProject As Range
Dim rangeProject As Range
Dim rangeSearch As Range
cursorStart = sheetSource.Columns(2).Find(constCursorKey).Row + constClientNameOffset
' find the last project entry in the sheet
cursorEnd = sheetSource.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rangeSearch = sheetSource.Range(Cells(cursorStart + 1, constProjectLeft), _
Cells(cursorEnd, constProjectLeft))
cursorProject = rangeSearch.Find(What:=constCursorKey, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
This is very sloppy currently as parts will be moved out to its own Sub called while iterating over the reports (hence nextReport is hardcoded here to a specific report name). The various constants are fixed parameters of the reports. The unlisted values like "rptBurn" are globals. The GetSheet function works well, but if you want to see it:
Private Function GetSheet(rpt As String) As String
Workbooks.Open rootPath + rpt
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Workbooks(rptBurn).Sheets(Workbooks(rptBurn).Sheets.Count)
GetSheet = ActiveSheet.Name
Workbooks(rpt).Close
End Function
I've tried several variations on this. The Locals all look promising up to the error. I set the Hidden properties to False based on another post. I've tried simplifying the call down to the basics and using With, like this:
Set rangeSearch = Sheets(3).Range("B:B")
rangeSearch.Select
With rangeSearch
cursorProject = .Find("Client Name")
End With
But I'm always getting an error on cursorProject. There are definitely many "Client Name" entries in the worksheet I'm testing. I put in the Select to verify I'm grabbing the correct range; oddly I find that "B:AX" get highlighted (AX is the rightmost used column in the report) in the simple version, but the selection I expect in the original. Regardless there are "Client Name" instances in either selection--I can select B4 and see "Client Name".
What am I doing wrong?

Cursorproject is an object variable (range). You can't simply assign a value to an object variable, you have to set it.
dim strSomeTextVarible as string
dim rngSomeCellsObjectVariable as range
strSomeTextVarible = "abc"
set rngSomeCellsObjectVariable = range("a1:c3")
