Default Worksheet Delete method's dialog box

So you are deleting a sheet through code. When the code executes the user
confirmation dialog shows and the user decides whether to delete the sheet or
not.

After this is complete why not just check for the existence of the sheet
with a function something like this...

Public Function SheetExists(SName As String, _
* * * * * * * * * * *Optional ByVal Wb As Workbook) As Boolean
'Chip Pearson
* * On Error Resume Next
* * If Wb Is Nothing Then Set Wb = ThisWorkbook
* * SheetExists = CBool(Len(Wb.Sheets(SName).Name))
End Function

The Microsoft documentation states that the delete method for a

Jim,

Thanks for your reply. My concern is more fundamental--I am just
curious about how to get at the boolean value that the documentation
states is returned by the delete method.
