Hey Bob: I Slready Used this type of Formula in my file...It ONLY looks in
ONE Worksheet, NOT Multiple sheets...What I'm looking for is a formula that
will search the array of sheets and return a certain value from the sheet
name I reference. Please let me know if you can help...Thanks! BMW

name that you specify, so that can only be one! Confused, I am.
