Well, Flexfind takes you to the found objects too, but there is no multiselect.

You can have a list created of all found stuff on a worksheet though.

Hi JKP: Thanks for the pointer to the FlexFind tool. It definitely seems to have its value. At the same time, I think the key value of my tool is the structured hierarchy of locating occurrences and the *post*-find features.

Hi Sam: Grabit might have been the program I tried to find before I rolled my own but can't be sure. In the version I put together I did consider using only two points to calibrate the image but decided that clicks on the axes (which meant requiring 4 clicks) would be easier for the user than hard-to-pinpoint locations like (Xmin, Ymin) and (Xmax, Ymax).

Hi Tushar,
The Chart Image to Data….reminded me of a file called Grabit….basically you could click on two points in a picture and key in kdistance in an input box and then click on any other 2 points and it would give you the distance…..I found it on a website…dont recollect where…

Hi Tushar,

Did you ever try my Flexfind tool? It seems to do most of what your find tool does, with the extra that it also searches in objects (charts, textboxes, comboboxes and the like) and you can replace with it too:
