Getting sheet name
 

How can i call the currently visable sheet name into my vb macro? I am
currently using a macro to create a invoice, what the macro is doing is
creating a new sheet and formating the sheet as required (with the layout
and everything). Everything on creation is working fine just i need a way of
identifying the sheet, is there a way i can get the vb to also change the
name of the sheet? Any comments would be helpfull.

Thanks
Jamie

Hi
to get the name:
activesheet.name

but you may also consider using an object variable:
Dim wks as worksheet
set wks = activesheet

To change the name
activesheet.name = "new name"

or with the object variable:
wks.name="new name"

Jamie,

ActiveSheet.Name

returns the sheet name.

Activesheet.Name = "NewName"

sets the name to NewName.
