Compare Worksheet Names - Ignore Case?
Dim MyName As String
Dim MySheet As Object Set MySheet = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet Dim Sheet As Object On Error GoTo btnRename_Err: ....(Other Code) NamingRoutine: Else For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets If MyName = Sheet.Name Then MsgBox "This Sheet Name is already in use. Please pick another name.", , "This Worksheet Name is in Use." Next Sheet GoTo NamingRoutine: .....(Other Code) This Code fails if MyName and Sheet.Name are the same except for capitalization. For Example: If MyName = Hello and Sheet.Name = hello, the code fails. It generates the MsgBox "This Sheet Name..." and loops endlessly. Can I convert MyName and Sheet.Name to upper case, then Compare? Other Suggestions? Thank you. |

One "error" I've seen more than once was someone spelling a sheet name with
an extra space either at the beginning or the end (usually at right end) and you can modify what JE gave you to handle even that: If UCase(Trim(MyName)) = UCase(Trim(Sheet.Name)) Then... and if you hate those big clunky UPPERCASE characters, you can always use LCase instead of UCase <g.
