I **think** that you have declared "name" (with the small "n") as a variable
somewhere where the current module can see it. I can duplicate your problem
easily enough as follows...

Dim name As String
Sub RunAll()
For Each Worksheet In Worksheets
Select Case Worksheet.name
Case "Report1"
Case Else
Worksheet.Activate
If ActiveSheet.name = "BGE" _
Then ActiveSheet.name = "Sheet999"
End If
End Select
Next Worksheet
End Sub

The "n" in the property name for your Worksheet variable in the Select Case
statement will always be lower case matching the case used in the Dim
statement. As Dave pointed out in his response, it is a bad idea to use data
type names, property names, or built-in function names as names for your own
variables.

I am not sure I am explaining it correctly. It's not the value for Name it
is
the actual object Name.

Here is the code that works:

Sub RunAll()
For Each Worksheet In Worksheets
Select Case Worksheet.name 'This just skips the first sheet and isn't
crucial
Case "Report1"
Case Else

'Here is the issue; note name instead of Name
Worksheet.Activate
If ActiveSheet.name = "BGE" _
Then ActiveSheet.name = "Sheet999"
End Select
Next Worksheet
End Sub

Forgive me if the misunderstanding is mine; I am new to Excel code!

Hi,

Text comparisons using = in VB are case sensitive. If you want to ignore
case try this simpler version of your code

Sub Rename_Shts()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If UCase(ws.Name) = "BGE" Then
ws.Name = "Sheet999"
End If
Next
End Sub

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I have two copies of code that I swear are indentical except for the
captialization of an object, which seems to be automatic. Somehow one
copy of
the code doesn't auto cap the object and it is that copy that works.
Code is
below:

Sub RunAll()

For Each Worksheet In Worksheets
Select Case Worksheet.Name
Case "Report 1"
Case Else
Worksheet.Activate
If ActiveSheet.Name = "BGE" Then _
ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet999"
End Select
Next Worksheet
End Sub

When Name is capped, it doesn't work. With lowercase name it works. I
can't
seem to replicate the non-capped object because when writing new code
it
won't let me not capitalize it. I am not sure what I did to get the
object
not capitalized in the first place. Anyone understand this?
