Bob,

Thanks so much. Works great! One follow up if I may.....Rather than
using the Worksheet names "Sheet1" or "Sheet2" (or whatever they are
named), can I use the VBA name of the sheets as defined is the VBA
Properties window? My users are notorious for changing the sheet
names! Thanks!

Steph,

Try

Public Shtarray
Public sht As Worksheet

Sub ShowAnnually2003()
Shtarray = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")
For Each sht In Worksheets(Shtarray)
sht.Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Next sht

End Sub

I get a Compile Error: Invalid Outside Procedure error, and the
debugger highlights the sheet name in the Shtarray "Dom P&L Ship".
I'm obviously screwing up syntax somewhere! Thanks!


Public Shtarray As Sheets
Public sht As Worksheet

Shtarray = Array("Dom P&L Ship", "Cons P&L Ship")

Sub ShowAnnually2003()

For Each sht In Shtarray
Workbook.Sheet(sht).Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.Hi dden = True
Next

End Sub

Steph,

Here is one way,

Public Shtarray

Sub ShowAnnually2003()
Dim i As Long
Dim dicSheets As Object
Set dicSheets = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
dicSheets.Add "A1", "A1"
dicSheets.Add "A2", "A2"

For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If dicSheets.exists(sht.CodeName) Then
sht.Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
Next sht

End Sub

The items added to the dictionary are the sheet codenames.

Yes. Check out the CodeName property.
