objects

I don't know if I just didn't know enough Visual Basic to make full use of objects. However, I'm finding that it's natural to change the find-something-or-other functions that I wrote to return an object instead of a boolean and then to check the object to see if it has the characteristic (such as the right string value) that I was searching for. (The FindFirst function that comes with OOo Basic returns an object -- a cell -- if the search was successful.) I'm also finding that I'm not creating temporary range names (as I did in VB) but instead just using oCell= or oRange= .
On another vein, I also find I'm liking using the Input function followed by a MsgBox function that says in effect "Are you sure?" as recommended in the Help info for Input function.
