I'm trying to find a way to make a worksheet name change according to a field
name . It would be nice to make the worksheet rename according to what is
typed in a specific field in a different worksheet. Anybody have any idea if
this can be done ?

One way is to put this in the sheet module of the sheet where the cell to be
changed is located.
right click sheet tabview codecopy/paste thismodify to suitsave
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address < "$H$1" Then Exit Sub
Sheet6.Name = Target
End Sub

Read it again, slowly. If you do it and change cell h1 sheet6 name will
change. Try it.

John

Don's answer involves worksheet event code.

Select the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy/paste the code into that sheet
module.

As written the code says..............

Whenever you type something into H1(field name cell) on the sheet, Sheet6 name
will change to that value.

NOTE: Sheet6 is Excel's VBA internal index name for the sheet and not
necessarily what you have named the sheet.

Currently you might have named it "yourname"

To find out which of your sheets is Sheet6 open VB Editor by hitting Alt + F11

CTRL + r to open Project Explorer.

Select your workbook/project and expand it.

Select Excel Objects to expand that.

You will get a list of the sheets with their index sheet numbers followed by the
actual name in parens.

Sheet6(yourname).

Change Don's Sheet6 in the code to the appropriate sheet index number if
necessary
Also change $H$1 to the appropriate field name cell.
