    Loop Macro + Very Hidden Sheets = Tricky?

    Hi All,

    I am running a loop macro on over 400 workbooks from my Personal.XLS file. For the most part, I have no problem deleting rows, adding columns, etc.

    However... one of my tasks involves unhiding a "Very Hidden" sheet from each file, adding a name to that hidden sheet, and then re-very-hiding that sheet.

    But, running the code gives me an error that says "Invalid Outside Procedure," while highlighting the "ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NAMES").Visible = xlSheetVisible" line

    Is this happening because I'm running the code from Personal.XLS... but I want to unhide a sheet from a different file?

    Anyone know how I can get around this? Thanks!!

    Best,

    Lilanngel

    Hello lilanngel,

    ThisWorkbook refers to the workbook that the macro is running in. In your case, Personal.xls. Change the reference to the ActiveWorkbook and it should work.
