Can anyone tell me how to link a cell info into the naming of a worksheet.
Normally I just right click on the tab and rename, but we would like a
formula there if possible to read a certain cell which renames the worksheet
when that cell is used.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
Me.Name = .Value
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

I right clicked then hit view code and then pasted the code from Private
Sub...End Sub. I then changed H1 to D6(the cell I need), but the tab name
did not change. If that cell is a Vlookup cell, would that matter?

Yes it does. Try this instead

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
With Me.Range("H1")
If .Value < "" Then
Me.Name = .Value
End If
End With
End Sub
