I have about 20 workbooks and within these workbooks are about 35 sheets with
identical sheet names. I'd like to review the sheets with the same name
rapidly without having to click through the workbooks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Barb Reinhardt

Impossible, the name is unique within a workbook. 35 into 20 doesn't go.

What do you men by review?

Dim rng as Range, bk as Workbook
for each bk in Application.Workbooks
bk.Activate
worksheets("ABC").Activate
On error resume Next
set rng = Application.Inputbox("Click Cancel to continue", type:=8)
On error goto 0
Next

How do I identify the workbooks that I'm using and the specific sheet names?
As you can clearly see, I'm a novice at this. If you could direct me to
something I could read on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well, you left your description vague. If you want to loop through 20
workbooks for 35 sheets - how you would identify them is pretty much up to
you. for example, if you had all the workbooks and only those workbooks in
a single directory (C:\Mypath for example) and they were not open in Excel

Sub ABCD()
Dim v(1 to 20) as String
Dim v1(1 to 35)
Dim i as Long, sPath as String, sName as String
Dim sh as worksheet, j as Long
sPath = "C:\Mypath\"
sName = Dir(sPath & "*.xls")
i = 0
do while sName < ""
i = i + 1
set bk = Workbooks.Open(sPath & sName)
v(i) = bk.Name
sName = Dir()
Loop
i = 0
for each sh in workbooks(v(1)).Worksheets
i = i + 1
v1(i) = sh.Name
Next sh
for i = 1 to 35
for j = 1 to 20
set bk = Workbooks(v(j))
bk.Activate
worksheets(v1(i)).Activate
On error resume Next
set rng = Application.Inputbox("Click Cancel to continue", type:=8)
On error goto 0
Next j
Next i
for i = 1 to 20
workbooks(v(i)).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next
End Sub
