    VBA search box

    A little while ago i asked for help with a code to search a workbook for a reference number i input into a cell.

    Thanks for this code guys, i just need 1 little change though...

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim rng, sh As Worksheet
    Dim WhatToFind As String
    Dim Ans As String
    WhatToFind = Range("A12").Value ' "InputYourString" ' adjust to your needs ...
    For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If Not sh.Name = "Front Page" Then
    sh.Select
    With ActiveSheet
    On Error Resume Next
    .Columns("B").Select
    Selection.Find(what:=WhatToFind, _
    After:=ActiveCell, _
    LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlPart, _
    SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False).Activate
    If ActiveCell.Row > 6 Then
    Ans = MsgBox("Found at " & ActiveCell.Address & " Continue searching ? ", vbYesNo)
    If Ans = vbNo Then Exit Sub
    End If
    End With

    I want to seach all the workbook apart from the "Front Page". What do i need to add onto this code?

    This code should search all codes EXCEPT the sheet named "Front Page". What problems are you having with it as written?

    It looks like you chopped off the end of some of your code. If the above code finds WhatToFind on a sheet, it will ask you if you want to keep looking. (I wasn't sure what you wanted at that point because the posted code was truncated.) If you say YES, then it will look at the next sheet. This routine will not find two occurances on the same sheet. This can be easily changed.
    I also removed some unneeded selecting and such. If you want to go to the found cell after pressing NO, replace the above line with
