Default Selecting a specific worksheet

I have 40 tabs (worksheets) named in my workbook. Is there an easier way to
go to a specific worksheet without have to tab over and past all the other
worksheets?

I just learned you can automatically alphabetize named tabs using VBA, but I
don't know anything about VBA.

Thank you,
Jackie

Hi Jackie
Maybe not what you want but did you know if you right click to the left of your
first tab, the scroll left-right arrows, you will get a drop-down menu with all
your Tabs and last entry showing "More sheets".

If the right-click on the sheet navigation arrows is not sufficient.

You can build a Sheet Navigation Toolbar as per Dave Peterson's code on
Debra Dalgleish's site. Sorts as well as navigates.

Or see this google search thread for the BrowseSheets macro from Bob
Phillips.

Hi John,

This discussion group has answered so many questions for me. Thank you! I
had no idea that shortcut existed. I will try this and see if I can learn
more about a Sheet Navigation Toolbard that Gord recommended.

Many, many thanks from this 'newbie' Excel user ~

Hi Gord,

Thank you! I want to learn more about this process and will study the link
you provided.

To me...all of you guys and gals must be members in MENSA who understand the
intricacies of Excel.

Thanks

Like any other endeavor, practice, practice, practice makes one become more
familiar with the intricacies.
