Default Problem refering to Add-In sheet

This probably means that it is trying to find that worksheet in the
activeworkbook, not the add-in.

If the code is in the add-in, precede by ThisWorkbook

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Info").Range("B1").ClearC ontents

Hello All

I have a file which contains code to copy information from a sheet
called data to a sheet called Report. - Everything works fine.

I have several files to work on. Each file contains a sheet called
data. I currently have to copy each Data sheet into my file containing
the macros then run the code.

I thought it would be better if I created a menu button to run the code
and created the file as an Add-In. Then all I would need to do (once the
Add-In was installed) would be open the file containing the data and
click on the button created by the Add-In.

I added code to create a menubutton on workbook open and tested Ok so I
removed the sheet called Data and created an Add-In from the file.

When I open any of the files containing the sheet "Data" and click the
button I get Run-time error 9 - Subscript out of range - and I trace
this to the line

Sheets("Info").Range("B1").ClearContents

This is refering to the sheet that has been hidden within the Add-In

How can I get round this problem, Do I have to "Show" the sheet or is
there a particular way of refering to a sheet within an Add-In. (or
perhaps it cannot be done at all like this?

Could someone please advise me as how I can progress.

TIA
