Default Use list box to navigate to different sheets...

Is it possible to use a List Box within a spreadsheet (this would be on each
page) - that by selecting the first option in the list (e.g. Sheet 1, then
Sheet 2, etc.) it would navigate to each sheet?

Trying to put the finishing touches to a spreadsheet - navigating round the
different sheets needs to be 'easier' for everyone - this way I can have a
descriptive title within the List box for each area.

As always your time, and expertise is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks, Al. ( )

If you're using an ActiveX type listbox you can catch the Click event with
something like:

Worksheets(lstErrors.ListIndex).Select

Where lstErrors is the name of the listbox you're using

How do I actually use this? Should this be part of a macro, or through VBA?

How do I know if it is an ActiveX listbox type?

Thanks for your help on this.

Al.

Mr AL,

If you right-click on the arrows to the left of the sheet tab names, you get
a sheet name list, effectively a listbox. Your users can select from there,
and if you give the sheets descriptive names all solved without code or
trickery.
