Let's try again, by the numbers:
1. right click sheet tab for sheet where you want this macro
2. select view code
3.copy/paste the macro into the module
4. Go back to the worksheet Save the workbook.

Now when you chage cell a1 the name of the worksheet will be changed to what
is in the cell. Try it with your name.

Don,

Thanks for your patience. I've never used any macros.

I think I did exactly as you prescribed, but no success yet.

Please don't assume I know anything about this process, which is true.

If there is any presumed step, I probably missed it.

Don,

Thanks much for your quick response.

I must have missed something. After typing SAVE in Book 1 - Sheet1
(Code),
I clidked the X in the top right to close.

I then changed the value of cell a1 from "xxx" to "zzz" and the TAB
remained
"Sheet1".

When you change cell a1 the sheet name will change.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address < "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
ActiveSheet.Name = Target
End Sub

How can I give a variable name to a worksheet tab based on a cell in
the
worksheet?
