Too Many Tabs

[lpaulg3]

I have kept a spreadsheet for years that contains tons of lists that I may need on a moment's notice. The problem is I have to slowly pick my way through all the tabs at the bottom to find the one I'm looking for.
Is there a way to group several workbooks together under one tab?
e.g. rather than having tabs at the bottom like this:
Paul Mary Jim Nancy 10-12-13 Mike Sally Equipment Sizes Scores Travel 10-14-13 9-05-13
I'd rather see:
Men Women Dates Stats Equipment
Under the "Men" tab I would see the following tabs: Paul Jim Mike
Under the "Women" tab I would see the following tabs: Mary Nancy Sally
etc.

Or, is the only way to sort the spreadsheet quickly -a table of contents with hyperlinks? (not preferred)

There's no way to have hierarchical tabs.

You can create custom groups in Access.

If you right click on the tab arrows at the bottom of the sheet, a list of all the sheets will appear, allowing you to click straight to your sheet.

you can make a macro that list all your tabs by name on a worksheet column with checkbox next to them. toggling the checkbox to hide or unhide tabs.. less visible tabs are more manageable
