Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do a search to go to a specific
worksheet in a workbook.
I have many worksheets (about 30) that are linked to others and I would like
to be able to search for the 'tab' name without scrolling allway across the
worksheet.
If it is possible how is it done please. Allan 280905

Hi Allan

Right click on the scroll arrows to the left of the the first sheet tab and
you will see a list of all your sheet names. I don't have any workbooks with
30 sheets, so I haven't tested how many can be displayed without scrolling
this list.

Looks like 15 sheets and clickable "more sheets"

Tested with 2002 and 2003

Hi Alan,
I would suggest sorting the worksheets no matter what you do, make
sure the the names are named so that sorting is helpful.
like dates of yyyy-mm-dd perhaps a prefix character k.pfkeys, k.shortcutkeyst

To bypass "More Sheets" and get directly to all of the sheets

thanks to Chip Pearson.
