Note that with both Bob's and PCLives code you could run into an issue if the
value in D1 is the repeat of an existing tab name or if the text in D1 is too
long, or if the text in D1 is "history" (quirky little bug with XL that you
can not name a sheet History)... If that is going to be an issue then you
should add in an error handler to the code which we can help you with if you
need...

I have a workbook with 75 worksheets (tabs) and would like the value in
field
D1 to be the name of the tab? Is this possible and how would I do this?
Please help. Thanks.
