    How do I type in a tab label and get that tab to be selected?

    I want to put a list of parts that go into an assembly into a data base
    (excel or access) and to be able to easily retreve that list. The idea is to
    type in the number of the assembly and have that data appear on screen. Any
    suggestions would be helpful.

    You can set up you Parts Detail Table in say A1:L100 on Sheet1, then if you
    type a part number in A1 of sheet2, you could make the data in the second
    column of your data table appear in B1 on sheet2 by entering in B2

    =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$L$100,2,FALSE))

    You might also want to put it in Access and draw it into Excel using a
    parameter query...detail here
