Renaming sheet with VBA

[Barb Reinhardt]

I am doing some checks for specific text within the existing sheet name and
if the sheet name contains that value, I want to rename it to include
information from named range abc.

I'm using this to rename the sheet

Worksheets(i).Name = "TRY IT " & Range("abc") & " - Cover
Page"

I know I've got the right worksheet, but it's not being renamed. Does the
formula need to be changed?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

Barb,

Where is the code located? It should be in a regular code module,
not in a sheet module or the ThisWorkbook module. If you have it
in a sheet object module, you need to qualify the Range statement
to point to the sheet on which the range "abc" is defined. E.g,.

Worksheets(i).Name = _
"TRY IT " & Worksheets(1).Range("abc") & " - Cover Page """

I used this code to rename all the sheets in an active workbook. I had to set up the named range on EACH sheet and use a different value in each so that the name would not be duplicated.
