newbie question
 

Hi
I am would like to set up a listbox that would then activate the
worksheet of interest to the user. My question is that a combobox can
be set up in a worksheet or in a userform. What are the advantages of
setting it up in a userform as opposed to a formatted worksheet (say
in a new window)? Or is this really a matter of preference?

Thanks in advance

This is the sort of thing that userforms are designed for. I assume you're
creating a generic utility that would work with any workbook.

By the way, there is something built into Excel to show/select sheets:

Sub ShowSheetList()
On Error Resume Next
Err = 0
'Try to show dialog for 15 sheet workbooks
CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").Controls("More sheets...").Execute
'If an error there are fewer than 16 sheets so show the "short list"
If Err < 0 Then CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").ShowPopup
End Sub
