Limit Macro to Intended worksheet.

[Guest]

Is there a way to limit a macro to work only on ONE work sheet? When I
record a macro I only see an option to store in a WORKBOOK but not a work
sheet.

The problem I have is my macro will distroy my worksheet if I hit the
shortcut key while the wrong worksheet tab is selected. With multiple macros
and multiple worksheets it is only a matter of time before I hit the shortcut
key and get unintended results!

one way:

Public Sub MyMacro
If ActiveSheet.Name <> "Safe" Then Exit Sub
'<rest of your macro here
End Sub

Make your macro sheet-specific.

Sub MyMacro()
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
run the code
End Sub

Or.........................

With Sheets("Sheet1")
run the code
End With

Or.....................

Use worksheet_activate code in the sheet module

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MyMacro
End Sub

Note: this last one will run the macro everytime the sheet is selected. May
not be what you need.
