ActiveSheet.name not returning Sheet1, Sheet2

[Rebecca_SUNY]

In VBE in the property window of a worksheet there is a field (Name) that
doesn't change even if the tab name or index position changes. I would like
to use this "name" and evaluate it to reset the print range. I only want to
reset the print range of Sheets "Sheet11" to "Sheet31". When I use the
ActiveSheet.Name command I only get the "tab" name, not this static name. Is
there any way to retrieve the (Name) and evaluate it. Here is the piece of
code that I am working with.

Dim SheetNum_Low As Integer
Dim SheetNum_High As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim SheetNum As Integer

SheetNum_Low = 11
SheetNum_High = 31

For Each ws In Worksheets

ws.Activate

SheetNum = ActiveSheet.Index
SheetNum = val(left(ActiveSheet.Name,2))


If SheetNum >= SheetNum_Low And SheetNum <= SheetNum_High Then

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Address

End If

Next

Activesheet.codename

That (Name) property is called the codename.

I think I'd use something like:

Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With wks
If LCase(.CodeName) Like LCase("Sheet##") Then
Select Case CLng(Right(.CodeName, 2))
Case 11 To 31
'do the work
'MsgBox .CodeName & "--" & .Name
.PageSetup.PrintArea = .UsedRange.Address
End Select
End If
End With
Next wks

I knew it was something easy but I just couldn't FIND it. Thanks. You went
above and beyond and it was very helpful.

I assume the Lcase is because the Like operator is case sensitive...?

 

[Dave Peterson]

That's what I would assume, too <vbg>.

But it wouldn't take much to test it to confirm or reject that assumption!

Excel Help says Like is case INsensitive when comparing text, but that is not
how it tested. I tried it without the Lcase and changed it to "sheet##" and
it returned false. Best to leave the lcase in. good tip.

Doesn't VBA's help state that it's not case sensitive if "option compare text"
is used?
