Where or why do you need a sheet's code name. It's a bit confusing, you say
"this fails to pass the codename shAIF to the function"
but you havn't attempted to pass it, the first argument in your function
expects a worksheet object.

Sheet1, without quotes, could be passed if that's what you want, to refer to
a sheet within same project as the code (ie hardcoded and potentially
unreliable)
or are you saying you know the codename as a string and want to use that to
get a reference to the sheet object.

In passing, your function would work with following changes (subject to
receiving a worksheet object) -

change
With xSh
to
With searchSh

change
Set c = .Cells.Find(xFind, LookIn:=xlValues)
to
Set c = .Cells.Find(searchText , LookIn:=xlValues)

change
FindReport = c.address.Row
to
FindReport = c.Row

If you want to retrieve the codename from the worksheet object
Dim sCodeName as string

sCodeName = searchSh.Codename
NOTE cannot return codename of newly inserted sheet unless the VBE is open,
or the wb has been subsequently saved or quite a lot more work depending on
xl version.

Hi All
I wish to pass a worksheet codename to function. How do I do this?

So far......this fails to pass the codename shAIF to the function

Sub Test
MsgBox FindReport(shAIF, "New Report")
End Sub

Function FindReport(searchSh as Worksheet, searchText as String) as Long
FindReport = 0
Dim c
With xSh
Set c = .Cells.Find(xFind, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
FindReport = c.address.Row
End If
End With
End Function
