When I execute code below, a Run-time error '91': Object variable or
With block variable not set occurs on the line marked with the ***.
Suspecting the problem is related to the declarations, I
expereiemented with a couple of modifications, but nothing worked. I
am unsure how to correct...any help is greatly appreciated. Kind

Hi Mike,

In this line of code:

*** sh.Worksheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", _
"Sheet3", "Sheet6")).Delete

you have not set the sh variable. Based on the surrounding context, are you
sure you didn't mean that to be mybook.Worksheets(....).Delete?
