Hello Don
You are right same result because same version.
As far as I can see in the Objects Explorer:
xlVeryHidden belongs to Excel Constants class
and
xlSheetVeryHidden belongs to XlSheetVisibility class
(and this is also the Value available from the Property list of a sheet)
hence my answer to K1KKKA.

I don't understand.
I have office2003 std excel 11.8169.8122 sp3 and just successfully tested
this.

Sub veryhidden()
Sheets("sheet2").Visible = xlVeryHidden
'Sheets("sheet2").Visible = True
End Sub

I also tested this. BOTH worked to make the sheet VERYhidden ??????
Sheets("sheet2").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

But it is still bad Pascal that they have changed a constant value over
versions. I always warn people about using the RIGHT constant for this
very reason, but never really expected it to happen. (I also used to warn
people to use Rows.Count rather than 65536, but again I didn't really
think that MS would ever increase the number of rows. Guess I am not much
of a sage :-))

Hello Bob

Our friend was trying "xlveryhidden" which obviously could not work if I
understood his message correctly.
Now my mistake as regards versions.

Oh that is awful! In XP, xlsheethidden returns 2, in 2003 it returns 0.
Shame on them.

I wonder what xlsheethidden applies to?

Hello Steve
With Excel 2003 (you don't mention your version):
xlSheetVeryHidden

You could also check the correct value for your sheet via the Property
window in the VBA Editor.
