The Find() method only works if you've got a PrimaryKey defined for your DataTable (and it only searches the PrimaryKey column). So, Naomi's post is correct that you should use the .Select() method, since that can utilize any columns. You could also try messing around with LINQ, but I can't give you any examples off the top of my head (I don't use it enough).
