Worksheets.Count will count visible and hidden sheets

Hi

i am trying to find out the total no of worksheets in
the
workbook...i have in total 4 worksheets... but somehow
its
giving me incorrect value of 9...the total count
instaead
of 4 is comign to be 9........

what could be the reason..
here is how i am getting it:

cntB = Workbooks(uuWkBkName).Worksheets.Count
cntB = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count

i have used this before and was never a problem..only
today its giving me this absurd error!

thanks in advance
