tab colour depending on search results - is this possible?

[fry]

Hi all

Can anyone suggest a way of adding a button that when clicked searches through the worksheets and displays all the sheets that have the same colour tab (like doing a CTRL-F to find something).....or is this a bit too optimistic??

Also with reference to the above is it possible to add some code to my existing worksheet code to search through that particular worksheet and change the tab colour based upon the findings (eg if "ABC" is found then tab is blue or if "Mr a n other" is found tab is green??

I guess I might be getting a bit adventurous here but I wish I could get all this out of my head..................thanks

I forgot to add that I'd tried the obvious way of doing it by recording a macro and pressing CTRL-F manually then looking at the code but it creates a macro with nothing in it?!?!?

Further to the above I've just tried doing it again using only the keyboard (just in case mouse clicks aren't recognised) but alas the macro is still empty!?

Just to be a bit clearer the second part of my question would be...

If any of the cells in B11 to B13 in the current worksheet contain the letters "BOC" then make the worksheet tab blue.

Is this possible to code?
