Macro to Pull Search Results from Another Tab

[welshraz]

Afternoon,

I have the following code which performs a search etc. on a table, with a search text box and button on the same page. What I would like is to have a search take place on a different tab so that the user cannot see the data in full. Is this something that is possible?

Sub SearchBox()
'PURPOSE: Filter Data on User-Determined Column & Text/Numerical value

Dim myButton As OptionButton
Dim SearchString As String
Dim ButtonName As String
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim myField As Long
Dim DataRange As Range
Dim mySearch As Variant

'Load Sheet into A Variable
  Set sht = ActiveSheet

'Unfilter Data (if necessary)
  On Error Resume Next
    sht.ShowAllData
  On Error GoTo 0
 
'Filtered Data Range (include column heading cells)
Set DataRange = sht.ListObjects("Contacts1").Range 'Table

'Retrieve User's Search Input
  mySearch = sht.OLEObjects("UserSearch").Object.Text 'ActiveX Control
 
'Determine if user is searching for number or text
  If IsNumeric(mySearch) = True Then
    SearchString = "=" & mySearch
  Else
    SearchString = "=*" & mySearch & "*"
  End If
   
'Loop Through Option Buttons
  For Each myButton In sht.OptionButtons
    If myButton.Value = 1 Then
      ButtonName = myButton.Text
      Exit For
    End If
  Next myButton
 
'Determine Filter Field
  On Error GoTo HeadingNotFound
    myField = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ButtonName, DataRange.Rows(1), 0)
  On Error GoTo 0
 
'Filter Data
  DataRange.AutoFilter _
    Field:=myField, _
    Criteria1:=SearchString, _
    Operator:=xlAnd
 
'Clear Search Field
sht.OLEObjects("UserSearch").Object.Text = "" 'ActiveX Control

Exit Sub

'ERROR HANDLERS
HeadingNotFound:
  MsgBox "The column heading [" & ButtonName & "] was not found in cells " & DataRange.Rows(1).Address & ". " & _
    vbNewLine & "Please check for possible typos.", vbCritical, "Header Name Not Found!"
 
End Sub

Can you post a copy of the worksheet with data being searched using the XL2BB tool?
