Just spend 20-30 minutes going thru the Google Archive
Looking for an answer to my subject line

After 19-29 minutes of confusion, I just came up with the below code;
It seems to work -- but I'm asking "Is there a "gotch-Cha"
Associated with it? Seems simple enough - In the Interface my 3rd of 3
sheets shows "Page3" -- but of course in the VBA Properties Window
(Name) box I show MySheet3codename

Sub Selectsheettest()
MySheet3codename.Activate
Range("B4").Value = "hello - You made it !!"
End Sub

There's always gotcha's when you rely on being on the active sheet.

I would think that this would be better:

MySheet3codename.Range("B4").Value = "hello - You made it !!"

Codenames are much more difficult for the average user to screw up, er, change.
I think you'll be much happier with your code using codenames when the worksheet
name changes.

Sub sheetnames()
MsgBox Sheets("sheet5").Range("b4")
MsgBox Sheet5.Range("b4")
MsgBox Sheets(5).Range("b4") 'index of location
End Su
