I'm using the below code to check for existing records (in case the user of my UserForm clicks "add record" instead of "Update"

Code:
'Checks for existing record in case user clicks Add record instead of update.
Dim reference As String
reference = UserForm1.Ref_Num.Value
Dim aCell As Range




'Set aCell = Sheets("Tracker").Range("Table_Main[Reference Number]") &
Set aCell = Sheets("Go").Range("Table_Go[Reference Number]").Find(What:=reference, LookIn:=xlValues, _
    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)


    If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "This record already exists" & vbNewLine & "Please select Update instead", vbCritical = vbOKOnly, "Warning"
        Exit Sub
    End If

The code works as it should, however I can't figure out how to reference the other 5 tables (which are on separate sheets) in the same sub routine as I need to search the reference number column of each table to see if there's a match.

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
How about
Code:
    Set aCell = Sheets("Go").Range("Table_Go[Reference Number]").Find(What:=reference, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "This record already exists" & vbNewLine & "Please select Update instead", vbCritical = vbOKOnly, "Warning"
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    Set aCell = Sheets("Tracker").Range("Table_Main[Reference Number]").Find(What:=reference, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "This record already exists" & vbNewLine & "Please select Update instead", vbCritical = vbOKOnly, "Warning"
        Exit Sub
    End If
