Code runs in XL97 but not 2000?

The following code finds the search string in any worksheet of the current
workbook. It works in XL97, but crashes in XL2000 with "Run time error '13':
Type mismatch".

Why is this? When I go to debug it, the editor is opened at this line:

Set sh = ActiveSheet


Dim i As Integer, sh As Worksheet
Dim MyFind As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set sh = ActiveSheet
Dim Message, Title, MyValue
Message = "Enter item number"
Title = "Search Item"
MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(i).Select
Set MyFind = Cells.Find(What:=MyValue)
If Not MyFind Is Nothing Then
Cells.Find(What:=MyValue).Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
MsgBox "Item not found, search again"
sh.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Suspect that when the code is run, the ActiveSheet is a chart sheet or
something other than a worksheet.

Try changing

Dim i as Integer, sh as Worksheet

to

Dim i as Integer, sh as Object
