Ken,

(as you know), it won't recalculate unless you add an

Application.Volatile

line. The odd thing is that although it doesn't recalculate without the
added line on a sheet recalculate or when a sheet is added, it does
when a sheet is deleted ( in XL97.)

Is it the same in other versions and do you know why that would be?

Regards

Sandy

Put it in a module and call it with =NumShts()

Function NumShts()
NumShts = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
End Function

This worked great the last time I had a question, so I'd thought we to
would
try again. Is there a function available that would count the number of
tabs
in a spreadsheet that has many many tabs. Thanks for your help!!

Have a great day and a better tomorrow!
