Hi
in VBA, if I say worksheets(1), which sheet is that? the first one in the left hand side (physically the first one) or the first sheet that is created?
lets say I have 4 sheets A,B,C and D. A was the first sheet created. Then I changed the order, copy/move etc and now I have these sheets listed as

D, A, F, B, C

Which one is worksheets(1) now?

Can I print/display sheets number? Thank you
 

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.
Testing indicates that Worksheets(1) will return the name of the sheet farthest left, in this case "D".

And yes, you can:

Code:
Sub SheetsName()
MsgBox Worksheets(1).Name
End Sub
