Default how can I see if an array contain a certain variable?

Hi,

At least do I belive I should use arrays to solve it, but did sleep during
the array part of the course:-)

In an Worksheet_Deactivate event, I want to compare if the Target range is
into one of my known sheets or if it is an unknown sheet. This will make me
know if Target is another workbook, since there will be no more sheets in my
workbook. I thought of running a loop through my array with 13 woorksheets
and see if the "ActiveWorksheet" is there.

I have started to give name the arrays like:

shtArray(0) = Sheet1.Name
shtArray(1) = Sheet2.Name
:
and thought of running a Loop like:
"If ActiveSheet.Name < shtArray" Then

I has been thinking about using woorkbook_deactivate event, but can't find
out how i can get the Target range and continue with my code in a right
way.

Better ways to solve it are of course welcome, but maybe this give me a
reason to learn arrays once and for all:-)

You might want to consider adding a reference to Microsoft Scripting
Runtime and using something like

Sub qwerty1()
Dim x As Dictionary, i As Long
Set x = New Dictionary
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
x.Add Item:=Worksheets(i).Name, key:=CStr(Worksheets(i).Name)
Next
If x.Exists("Sheet3") Then
'Do whatever
Else
'Do whatever else
End If
End Sub
