Default Confused about sheets and "Select" vs "Activate"

I am able to run the following code below:

Workbooks("DataBook.xlsm").Sheets(4).Activate

However, why does the following code give an error message:

Workbooks("DataBook.xlsm").Sheets(4).Select ' ERROR!!!


I thought a sheet "activate" call was the same thing as a sheet
"select" call. Can anybody explain what is going on here??


thank u
