I'm definitely an amateur programmer, but I'm looking for a way to make a VB program search through an excel spreadsheet.

My purpose is that I have a lot of media (software, music, movies, books) that I keep organized on a spreadsheet, but I'd like a nicer way to sort through it than just excel.

So for example, if I put an authors name (perhaps Bugliosi) in a textbox and clicked a search button, it would display results in labels on the form.

If this is even possible, any tips would be greatly appreciated. If I manage to get this project done I'll post code in case anyone else is interested.
