Macro needed (like find)
 

I have a drop down list of names, and I need the macro to find the name
selected within the workbook. The names that are found would be on
individual sheets. Could this be created? Thank you.

Where are the dropdown lists of names found? Let's say it's in cells B1:B10

Sub test()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim r As Range
Dim myWS As Worksheet
Set myRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B1:B10")
For Each r In myRange
If Len(r.Value) 0 Then
Set myWS = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myWS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(r.Value) '<~~may want to check
this syntax
On Error GoTo 0
If myWS Is Nothing Then
Set myWS =
Worksheets.Add(after:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Active Workbook.Worksheets.Count))
myWS.Name = r.Value
End If
End If
Next r

End Sub

This didn't work. What I want to do say. I have a list a through d on first
sheet. Then I have 4 other sheets with a on one, b on one, etc to d. I want
to select from a drop down list a letter, say d, then have a textbox with a
macro assigned to it which would then find that letter in the other 4 sheets
(a through d). So after you would run the macro, it would go to sheet d.
