Default Changing inherent sheet name NOT tab name

Hi All,

Is there a way to change the sheet name Excel assigns to a sheet using
VBA? If so would anybody be kind enough to provide a code snippet?

The code below copy's a sheet(s) and renames the tab but l want to
also rename the name assigned by Excel. A further problem is that l
dont know how to identify the sheet name that Excel has assigned to
the newly copied sheet!


For i = 1 To NoSheetsReqd
Sheets("My Template").Copy Befo=Sheets("2")
Sheets("My Template (2)").Select
Sheets("My Template (2)").Name = "New Sht Name"
Next i

All help gratefully appreciated.

For the curious l am building a solution where complete control of the
worksheets order & positioning is needed but it is desirable for the
end-user to be able to change the tab name to make it easily
identifiable to them, ie not just a number, so l can then use Excels
assigned names to control the order, positioning etc.


Regards

MB
