I am currently running the following code every time the workbook opens.... and I am needing to also create a link to the "Index" page on each of the worksheets as well

(Would put the link in cell "H1" of each worksheet)

When I run the below code I get an "Application-defined or Object Defined error" on the "Activesheet.Hyperlinks.Add" line... but not sure how to fix it? help!!!

VBA Code:
Sub CreateIndex()
'updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xAlerts As Boolean
    Dim I  As Long
    Dim xShtIndex As Worksheet
    Dim xSht As Variant
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    xAlerts = Application.DisplayAlerts
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Index").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0


    
    
    
    
    
    Set xShtIndex = Sheets.Add(Sheets(1))
    xShtIndex.Name = "Index"
    I = 1
    Cells(1, 1).Value = "INDEX"
    For Each xSht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        If xSht.Name <> "Index" Then
            I = I + 1
            xShtIndex.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(I, 1), "", "'" & xSht.Name & "'!A1", , xSht.Name
        End If
    Next
    
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name <> "Index" Then
            ws.Activate
            ActiveWindow.Zoom = 100
            ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Range("H1"), Address:="", SubAddress:="'" & xShtIndex.Name & "'!A1", TextToDisplay:="Return To Index"
            'ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(1, 8), "", "'" & xShtIndex.Name & "'!A1", , "Return to Index"
        End If
    Next
    
    
    
    Cells.Select
        With Selection
            .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
            .VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
            .WrapText = False
            .Orientation = 0
            .AddIndent = False
            .IndentLevel = 0
            .ShrinkToFit = False
            .ReadingOrder = xlContext
            .MergeCells = False
        End With
    Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Range("A1").Select
    
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = xAlerts
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
As a side note, I have tried also using the format of

VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(1, 8), "", "'" & xShtIndex.Name & "'!A1", , "Return to Index"

And I get the same error

Final update - so sorry. The code will run for 5 worksheets and then fail on the 6th one... which is odd.
