WorkSheet_Change for Multiple Sheets

I have an extensive Worksheet_Change subroutine that works perfectly on Sheet6 where it is located. The routine is written so that everything accesses "activesheet" rather than the sheet name. I have parallel structures on Sheet3 and Sheet9 but they are not accessing the subroutine. I tried this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Sheet6.Worksheet_Change (Target)
End Sub

And get an undefined object error. Can someone explain the rules for accessing subroutines and functions in another sheet.

Thanks so Much
Michael
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Put your code into a sub in a standard module and have the Worksheet_Change event of each desired sheet call that sub rather than the Change sub of another sheet.

As I understand it, Private subs can only be called from the module they are in.

Alternatively use a workbook event, rather than a worksheet event.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

    If Right(Sh.CodeName, 1) Like "[3,6,9]" Then
    MsgBox Sh.Name
    End If
End Sub
The message box will appear is you change sheet3, sheet6 or sheet9

Works perfect - thanks - mental note to put all subs (other than event handler) in a Module
