I've got my sub ClearDataWk() below to loop through all colored cells
on the active worksheet and delete data from colored cells. I also have
a MsgBox warning to give the user a chance to make sure they wish to
delete data.

How can I insert some code to either exit or warn if the ActiveSheet is
not contained within a specific list of worksheets?

Something like:

If ActiveSheet not in In Worksheets(Array("dataSheet1",
"dataSheet2"))

So if the ActiveSheet was "defaultVaues" the sub would display a
warning Msgbox warning the user.

CODE: **********************

Sub ClearDataWk()
Dim cell As Range, sh As Worksheet
Dim sMsg, iStyle, sTitle, Response

sMsg = "Preparing to clear data from worksheet: " & ActiveSheet.Name
& vbCrLf & _
"(note: You will not be able to undo this procedure)" &
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Do you want to continue ?"

iStyle = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2
sTitle = "Clear Data"

Response = MsgBox(sMsg, iStyle, sTitle)
If Response = vbYes Then
'Continue
ElseIf Response = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If

For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange

If cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 19 Then
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next

End Sub
