Default Using variable to call worksheets


I am writing a program that takes information a user enters (string) and
uses it to create a sheet with that name. So far it has been extremely
unreliable, working one minute and then not the next. The variable is
marked as a string, so it "shouldn't" be looking for the worksheet by
number. Oh, the information in the variable is a number. Ok, so it
looks for the worksheet by name using the variable. If it can't find
it, the error causes it to create a new worksheet with that name. But,
the darn program keeps making "SheetX" with X representing the next
sheet number (1,2,3,4,5 etc). It has actually worked a couple of times,
but apparently is unstable. The variable is a public string since it is
used in two or three routines. Would making it a private variable and
passing it just between these routines help? My other worksheet
function that activates a worksheet and unhides it works just fine
using a private string.
