I have done this using a worksheet_change event taking the length of what is
typed and looking for it with either a loop or a FIND. I wonder why you have
a separate sheet for each ltr unless you really have a lot of numbers. Could
be all on one using a filter. If desired, send your workbook to me along
with snippets of this and a clear explanation of what you want with
examples.

First off I posted this question yesterday, but for some reason with my
internet server provider I was unable to see my post or any replies if
there were any, so please accept my apologies if anyone replied and I did
not reply to you.

The problem has now been resolved, so I hope it is acceptable to post
again
given the problems I was having.

I am setting up a spreadsheet to keep track of phone numbers.

The workbook has worksheets named "A", "B", "C", "D" etc!

The first worksheet is named "Menu" and contains all the letters of the
alphabet with macros to link to the various worksheets, for example if I
click on "A" it will go to the worksheet named "A" that contains all
company
names and phone numbers for companies that name starts with "A"

What I would like to do is set up a something on the "Menu" worksheet that
could search the workbook by the company name. For example if I was to
type
a company name such as "AIB" it would return the number for "AIB".

Would this be possible and if so what would be the best way to go about
it?

Thanks
