Lets say i have a workbook with 20 sheets on it though the
number may vary and I want to delete all sheets which
arent named "Control", "Menu" and "Table"

How could i accomplish this with VBA?

Jordan,

Try something like the following:

Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case WS.Name
Case "Control", "Menu", "Table"
Case Else
WS.Delete
End Select
Next WS

Hi Jordan
similar to a post 2 hours ago try
----
Public Sub delete_sheets()
Dim wkSht As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each wkSht In Worksheets
If Lcase(trim(wkSht.Name)) < "Control" and
Lcase(trim(wkSht.Name)) _
< "Menu" Lcase(trim(wkSht.Name)) < "Table" Then
wkSht.Delete
End If
Next wkSht
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Jordan,

A better version is below:

Dim WS As Worksheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case WS.Name
Case "Control", "Menu", "Table"
Case Else
WS.Delete
End Select
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count = 1 Then
Exit For
End If
Next WS
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Hi Jordan,

How was the jungle?

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each sh In Activeworkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name < "Control" And sh.Name < "Menu" And _
sh.Name < "Table" Then
sh.Delete
End If
Next sh
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
