Greetings all,



I'm trying to use the listindex to select a Worksheet. I don't want to use
value to set the worksheet name as the list values can be too long.



Worksheets names are "MD Catch 1", "MD Catch 2", "MD Catch 3", etc



I just can't figure how to pass the index+1 to the name property



Any hints would be greatly appreciated.





Sub Sheet_Selections()

'sets the worksheet to use

Wsht = Area_Selection.Which_Catchment.ListIndex + 1



'worksheet to use

Alpha = Worksheets("MD Catch 1")



'other code

End Sub

Hi David,

You can use the Next property to return the next sheet object or any of its
properties, such as its name or index.

I'm not clear on the problem, but try:

Worksheets("MD Catch " & ListBox1.ListIndex + 1).Select

Dim Wsht as Long
Dim Alpha as Worksheet
'sets the worksheet to use

Wsht = Area_Selection.Which_Catchment.ListIndex + 1

'worksheet to use

Set Alpha = Worksheets(Wsht)

Alpha.Activate
