Automatically naming sheets
 

In cell c4 i have a link to a cell in another sheet
In cell c5 i have the formula ="OF_"&C4.
How do I get excel to automatically rename the sheet to the content i C5.
I have tried right click the sheet and select 'view code' and pasted:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
With Target
If .Address = "$A$1" Then
Me.Name = .Value
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

into it.
It seems that this macro only works when you enter the text manually into
the cell c5 i.e. it is not automatically updated when I change the content of
the cell which c4 refers to.
Any ideas?

Also, will there be a problem when I protect the sheet and the cell C5 has
the format 'locked', and if so can I get around that without having to unlock
the cell.
Thanks

Hi Adam,

Try putting your code in the Worksheet_Calculate event instead. This
will fire any time cell C5 is recalculated. As far as protection goes, the
only time you would have a problem is if you protected the Workbook with the
Windows argument set to True. In that case you would have to unprotect the
workbook at the beginning of your event procedure a protect it again at the
end.

A worksheet_change event only fires when the referenced cell(s) change by
input. So, try this.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("c5")
End Sub

change to me.name to avoid changing the name of the linked sheet when it is

When I change the cell value in the sheet that c4 is referring to it changes
the name of the sheet I am changing in and not the sheet where i put the
code. I assume that it has something to do with ActiveSheet.Name?

Thanks Don,
That solved that problem. Now instead I get the error message:
Run time error '7'
Out of memory

What am I doing wrong?

Hey Don,
I think I would change it to:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
me.Name = me.Range("c5")
End Sub

To be sure.

Thanks Don i saw your second post,

The workbook already contains quite a few macros and formulas but by now way
gigantic (6 different macros and 12 sheets with 50 rows in each with formulas)
What might be the problem
Thanks again for your promp replies!

I fail to see how that particular macro would cause the problem. Check here.

change to me.name to avoid changing the name of the linked sheet when it
is changed.

That's not what I read, or I wouldn't have suggested using ME on both sides
of the equation to prevent giving the sheet the wrong name.
