    Can not change Sheet codename

    Hi,

    I found on SO nice function to get worksheet by its codename:

    It works perfectly, but if I change default sheet codename, for example, from "Sheet5" to "Variables" it throws an error "Can not run macro. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled".
    I'm coding on MS Office for Mac, maybe there is some issue, I can't test it on Windows, right now

    Re: Can not change Sheet codename

    What's the purpose of the function?
    I really don't see the need for the function to get worksheet by code name...

    You can simply use worksheet code name like below... assuming Variables is set as it's code name.

    If you need to pass that on to another procedure etc, you can declare it as public/global variable.

    It's like a some sort of security if few workbooks are opened and sheets have same names.

    Re: Can not change Sheet codename

    I see. In general I don't recommend using sheet code name for code that doesn't run on the workbook containing the code itself. Specifically for that reason.

    You should use Sheets(Index#) or Sheets("SheetName") both of which can and should be qualified with workbook object.

    I tested the function, but had no issue on my end.

    Re: Can not change Sheet codename

    What exactly throws the error - that isn't a macro?

    Re: Can not change Sheet codename

    Oh, I have dew updates:

    1) rename sheet codename - works perfectly on Windows (I've tested few minutes ago) and throws and error on Mac, so it's kinda an answer to my question
    2) it would be very good to refer to sheets by name, but, unfortunately, I need to rename some sheets dynamically, don't ask why

    Changing the code name works fine in 16.35 for me.
