Hi,
I have also come across this problem. I have not found a way to search a sheet
that is not selected.
The work-around I use is as follows:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
A = ActiveSheet.Name
< Your code here, including the Sheet.Select line >
Sheets(A).Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
The above code gives at least the visual impression that the searched sheet is
not being activated.
If you have event macros that fire when you activate or deactivate a sheet, you
may want to include:
Application.EnablEvents = False after the first line, and
Application.EnablEvents = True before the last line.
