Sheet names in a macro
Hi All I studied the posts but cannot seem to find an answer to my problem. I have a spreadsheet that updates Engineers Job Details. Each Engineer has his own worksheet. The tabs are all named accordingly for each engineer. On a menu page references to these worksheets are hyperlinked. I also have some blank worksheets named NE3 and NE4 (NE-New Engineer) ready for when a new Engineer starts. If I need to change one of the Engineers name or place a new Engineers name in I have referenced the Hyperlinks to a worksheet called Names so I only have to update the names in the sheet to update all the Hyperlinks. ‘So far so good’ Do I have to manual change the tab names? Which leads me to my problem because I have macros that run 'on open' to sort all some of the worksheets. I have each sort for example, Sub SortJohnRTF() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("JohnRTF").Activate Range("A3:K299").Select Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B3"), Order1:=xlDescending, Key2:=Range("A3") _ , Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _ False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _ :=xlSortNormal Range("A2").Select End Sub I run these sorts on workbook open event. If I want to change or implement a new name how can I change the names in the macros. I have tried to change the code to. Sub SortSheet52() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("Sheet52").Activate Range("A3:K299").Select Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B3"), Order1:=xlDescending, Key2:=Range("A3") _ , Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _ False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _ :=xlSortNormal Range("A2").Select End Sub But this does not work. Basically I want to be able to change names without having to go through every related macro and hyperlink.
