I know I can add code to rename a tab

Me.Name = "Summary"


But what I want to do is rename Sheet3. I am asking specifically just to rename sheet3 so if the user copies the tab, the code that renames doesn't happen on the new/copied tab.

I tried (obviously without success)
Sheet3.Name = "Summary"
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
.
Code:
Sub newname()
    Sheets("Sheet3").Name = "Summary"
End Sub

The sheet name isn't currently "Sheet3". I want to name sheet3 (object)

Try

Code:
Dim wsNameChange As Worksheet

Set wsNameChange = Sheet3

wsNameChange.Name = "Summary"

.
Code:
Option Explicit


Sub namSht()
Sheet3.Name = "Summary"
End Sub

Above works whether placed in Routine Module or a Sheet Module.
