I was using a macro in exel 2002, and now have exel 2003.
The coding for changing the name of the active sheet (Which was:
Active sheet.Select ; ActiveSheet.Name = "sheet1") does not work
with my new exel. Has something changed?
Thanks

Active sheet.Select
You must use ActiveSheet instead of Active Sheet

But if you want to rename the Active sheet then this line is enough
ActiveSheet.Name = "sheet1"

You can use this to avoid a error if the sheet name already exist

On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = "sheet1"
On Error GoTo 0
