Not sure if I am not asking the right question yet.
Keep trying to help me understand what you want to do.
I read you want to, "activate only the worksheets that are included in that list"
Are they going to be activated one at a time so you can do something on the sheet, or all at once like you are going to copy/move them to a new workbook?
Once activated, what do you want to do with them?
