Hi all

I am looking for a way to get VBA to check if a worksheet exists using
a
named range as the source and if the sheet does not exist then add the
required sheet name... the only examples I have been able to find use
the
following code
If SheetEsists("sheetname") = True Then.

However, this does not appear to be a known function within Excel
2000.....
Is there another way or am I missing something?

Regards and Thanks
