Is there an automated way to create an Index worksheet for a large workbook?
I inherited a bunch of workbooks with a different product on each worksheet.
The only place the part number is listed is on the tab.
I'm part way thru manually creating a worksheet that lists the tab name and
links to the individual worksheets. It's much too time consuming. Any ideas
will be appreciated.
Thanks!

It is quite easy with the small macro:

Sub ListSheets()
'list of sheet names starting at A1
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Set rng = Range("A1")
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
rng.Offset(i, 0).Value = Sheet.Name
i = i + 1
Next Sheet
End Sub

Thanks Ryan. It worked great.
Is there anyway to also create the hyperlinks from the resulting sheet names
to each tab (worksheet)?

Bill

Rather than an index sheet with hyperlinks.......how do you get back to the
index sheet?.............try a sheet navigation toolbar or similar.

Sheet navigation bar from Debra Dalgleish's site.

Or Bob Phillips' Browsesheets macro which I prefer.

See this google search result. All one line for the URL
