Confusion with Names
When I go to the VBA IDE of a workbook, I see the Project Explorer,
Properties Window, and the Code window. If I look at the Project Explorer, each worksheet is titled Sheet1(Sheet1). In the Properties Window, I see two types of names: (Name) and Name, i.e., one enclosed in parenthesis and the other not. What are the differences between these two types of names for the worksheet? I want the user to have the ability to change the worksheet names but not have it affect my code. I tried Index and Item but those refer to the position of the sheet and not it's "name".

Confusion with Names
One is the tab name that you see on the tab, the other is the codename.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/codemods.htm Chip Pearson has a explanation. In the project explorer it is Codename (tabname) In the properties window, the codename is (name), the tab name is name just the opposite. Rename a sheet tab and have a look. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "mfq" wrote in message ups.com...

I also found a similar answer (codename) in Roman's book after much digging.
