Default Referring to a sheet

i have a workbook with several sheets. each sheet is a persons name.
i have a macro that i wish to select a certain sheet if certain conditions
are met. the variables LastName and FirstName get their values from 2 cells
in a sheet where the user would enter the first and last name in 2 different
cells, then click a button to activate the sheet with the name they just
typed in.


Private Sub Commandbutton1_Click()

Dim LastName As String, FirstName As String, ShtName As String
LastName = Sheets("Members").Range("A1").Value
FirstName= Sheets("Members").Range("A2").Value

ShtName = LastName & ", " & FirstName

Workbooks("Member.xls").Sheets(ShtName).Activate
End Sub
Can anyone tell me why this does not activate the sheet named: Smith, John
A1 = Smith
A2 = John
TIA
