Hi
I am adding/deleting/moving/copying sheets in one workbook. So the order of sheets get change, their names get change sometime, etc.
I have all Control buttons in Sheet1. So right now I can refer to that sheet as

Sheets(1)
Sheets("sheet1")

but lets say later on I changed the order of the sheets so it wont be sheet 1 anymore, and also change the name of all sheets so it is not sheet1 anymore. Is there any way to hard code the name of a sheet so I can always using it no matter what happen. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. But it wont be the active one once I insert different sheets (add) or when I copy sheets etc. Thanks

If you have a button on Sheet1 & Sheet2 is active, how do you click on the button?

Yes that is the problem. I have all buttons in sheet1 then when I insert different sheets/copy/delete/add etc the active sheet wont be sheet1 anymore. My question is there an hardcoded number or name of a sheet in excel? because in my case sheet1 can move and be sheet3 and also its name might change from sheet1 to Mysheet for example. Thanks once again.

The sheet with the buttons (regardless of name or position) has to be the activesheet in order to click the button.
