I wish to reference a sheet in my VBA code. What is the way to refer to a sheet by the name of the "tab name" instead of just the "Sheet 1", "Sheet 2", etc?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Sheets(1) rather than Sheets("Sheet1")

If you look in the VBA screen it will show you

Sheet1(Sheet1)

So Sheets(1) is the real name.

If I have this code:

Code:
Dim WSheet As Worksheet
    For Each WSheet In Worksheets
        If WSheet.Name <> "CustomName" Then                      
              Sheets(WSheet.Name).Select
        End If
    Next WSheet
I get a runtime error 1004 on the line "Sheets(WSheet.Name).select." The value of wsheet.name is "MyCustom" but the sheet is Sheet15. How can I convert from "MyCustom" to Sheet15? That is what I am asking. Or how to I select "MyCustom"?
Thanks.

Is the sheet hidden?

Try

Code:
Dim WSheet As Worksheet
    For Each WSheet In Worksheets
        If WSheet.Name <> "CustomName" Then      
              WSheet.Visible = True
              WSheet.Select
        End If
    Next WSheet

One way

Code:
Dim WSheet As Worksheet
    For Each WSheet In Worksheets
        If WSheet.Index <> 15 Then
              WSheet.Select
        End If
    Next WSheet
