I currently use a for loop to look through column A in the HDD database sheet and when it finds the matching search criteria it copies all the information in that row into a designated area.
I am trying to use the same for loop to tell me which row the search criteria is found on so i can delete that row from the HDD database sheet.
Tried a few things but nothing seems to work.
Any help is very welcome on this.
Private Sub EditButton_Click()
Dim Userentry As String
Dim i As Long
Dim ws, ws1, ws2 As Worksheet
'Dim found As Range
Dim RowNumber As String
Set ws = Sheets("HDD database")
Set ws1 = Sheets("HDD log")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet3")
Userentry = editTxtbox.Value
'ws1.Range("A36").Value = Userentry
For i = 1 To ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If (ws.Cells(i, 1).Value) = Userentry Then
ws2.Range("A1").Offset(1, 0).Resize(1, 8).Value = _
ws.Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 8).Value
End If
Next i
addnewHDDtxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("A2")
MakeModeltxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("B2")
SerialNumbertxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("C2")
Sizetxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("D2")
Locationtxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("E2")
Statetxtbox.Value = ws2.Range("F2")
For i = 1 To ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If (ws.Cells(i, 1).Value) = Userentry Then
RowNumber = ws.Cells.Row
End If
Next i
ws1.Range("I3").Value = RowNumber
End Sub

I think this should help. Using Range.Find() should speed it up a little. I can edit this if you want more, just comment.
'I liked your found :)
Dim found As Range
'Set found equal to the cell containing your string
Set found = ws.Range("A:A").Find(Userentry)
'Show the row of found if you want
'MsgBox found.Row
'Delete found's row
'ws.found.Rows.Delete
'Alternately, set the value of I3 to found's row
ws1.Range("I3").Value = ws.found.row
