I have one sheet in my workbook named "Work Data".
If this sheet is active, then the following expression

Application.ActiveSheet.Name

.... will return a string of "Work Data". However, I don't
want the name of the string in the sheet tab, I want the name from
my VBA project window (named Sheet1). How can I retrieve
the VBA name of my sheet??

thank u

Application.ActiveSheet.CodeName

Be aware though that newly added sheets since the workbook was opened while
the VBE is closed will not have a codeName. There are various workarounds to
force one, search this ng.
