    Search Macro button help

    Hi I have a Knowledge database spread sheet that stores defects. It has 4 sheets Instructions, Input, DataSheet and lookuplist. On the Input sheet I have a Search button with VBA code that displays a msgBox and searches for keywords entered then tells you how many it has found. The problem I am having is that I cant work out how to get the code to only search the DataSheet because at present it searches every sheet and I don't want that.

    Please can someone help me. here is the code

    Firstly:
    You will get a lot of abuse for not using code tags.

    edit your post

    select your code and click the # in the menu bar.

    Secondly:

    You have programmed your search routine to search every sheet.

    Hi Stanton,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Here's a quick fix (see red):

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    *Notice that I put code tages around the code - here are instructions for that:

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

    Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here
    If I've helped you, please consider adding to my reputation - just click on the liitle star at the left.
