Default make string variable reference VBA sheet name

Tom,

Here's an alternative deriving the sheetname from the codename

For bytSheetLoopCounter = 1 To 12
If bytSheetLoopCounter < 10 Then
strMonthNumber = "0" & bytSheetLoopCounter
Else
strMonthNumber = bytSheetLoopCounter
End If

strChartSheetName = "cshtMonth" & strMonthNumber & "Dur"
Worksheets(CStr(ActiveWorkbook.VBProject. _
VBComponents(strChartSheetName). _
Properties("Name"))).Select

Next bytSheetLoopCounter

I originally was going to reference the sheet name, but I'm not the only
person who will be using this workbook. I realized that another recipient

of
this workbook could change the sheet name, causing the code would fail.

Tom,

Why not use the sheet name?

Dim aryMonths()

aryMonths = Array("", "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", _
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")

For bytSheetLoopCounter = 1 To 12

For bytSheetLoopCounter = 1 To 12
If bytSheetLoopCounter < 10 Then
strMonthNumber = "0" & bytSheetLoopCounter
Else
strMonthNumber = bytSheetLoopCounter
End If

strChartSheetName = aryMonths(bytSheetLoopCounter) & " Duration"
Sheets(strChartSheetName).Select

Next bytSheetLoopCounter

Here's the scenario:

In my workbook, I have a series of 12 chartsheets which have the names

"Jan
Duration" through "Dec Duration". These sheets graph monthly

information.
In
the VBE, these sheets are named "cshtMonth01Dur" through

"cshtMonth12Dur",
so that I can loop from 1 to 12 and update the chart title on each of

the
sheets. Here's a portion of my code:

For bytSheetLoopCounter = 1 To 12
If bytSheetLoopCounter < 10 Then
strMonthNumber = "0" & bytSheetLoopCounter
Else
strMonthNumber = bytSheetLoopCounter
End If

strChartSheetName = "cshtMonth" & strMonthNumber & "Dur"
Sheets(strChartSheetName).Select

Next bytSheetLoopCounter

When it gets to the 'Select' line, it triggers "run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range"

I know that the 'Sheets(strChartSheetName).Select' should read

something
like 'Sheets("Jan Duration").Select', but I can't see how to retrieve

the
name of a sheet when it's referenced by a variable. Any and all help

would
be greatly appreciated.

Tom
