Does anyone have a suggestion on how you could find a worksheet in a written
code. You have the name, and you want the program to find that sheet and
delete it.

Thank you!

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets("sheetname").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Not to pick Bob, but if the sheet does not exist then the code will crash
before the alerts get turned back on again and the application will continue
to not display alerts until Excel if re-booted (I believe that this is one of
those settings that automatically resets itself when re-booted). Some kind of
error handling would be a good thing...

Agreed Jim, but the way that I read the request, he seemed to know the sheet
exists.

Fair enough. I am in the middle of debugging someone elses code that was
toggling application settings it has messed up some computers. I am a little
sensitive / frustrated at the moment. But ain't that always the way...

Try this

on error resume next
application.displayalerts = false
sheets("Sheet1").delete
application.displayalerts = true
on error goto 0

Thank you very much. Now lets say you want to delete all the sheets after
this first sheet. It could be anywhere from 2 sheets to 10 sheets.

I am not too sure how you define "the first sheet" so you can modify this as
you see fit

dim wks as worksheet

on error resume next
application.displayalerts = false
for each wks in worksheets
if wks.name < "The sheet I am keeping name" then wks.delete
next wks
application.displayalerts = true
on error goto 0

If you realy mean the first sheet you could also do like this:

Sub DeleteSheet()

Dim i As Integer

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

For i = Sheets.Count To 2 Step -1

Sheets(i).Delete

Next i

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Thank you. Everyone has been very helpful. I know where I need to go with
it now.

Thanks again!
