Deleting a sheet with the same name

[LabrGuy Bob R]

Hello, I have this listed in my code and it works fine when I remember to
delete the sheet and it can be replaced. However there are times I don't
succeed in getting to that place and hope I can get an answer.

If the "Rejected Voucher Statistaics" sheet exists I need to delete the
sheet from the workbook so the new "Pivot Table Sheet" can be moved
seemlessly and named the same. I would like to
1. Iheck and see if it exists
2. If it doesn't continue
3. If it does exist, delete it and continue with the macro..

ActiveSheet.Name = "Rejected Voucher Statistics"

Thanks BOBR

Sub test1()

For Each wks In Worksheets

If wks.Name = "Rejected Voucher Statistics" Then
wks.Delete
End If
Next wks

End Sub

No need to loop

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Rejected Voucher Statistics").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Errors should be reserved for Errors, not in place of good programming
practices. Good programming practrices should not force an error on a normal
condition. Errors should be reserved for abnormal condtions.

Don't be silly!

I have a Master in Computer Science and havve been working for over 25 years.
I'm serious about GOOD Programming Practices!

i have no such credentials, and i generally agree. but there are times using an
error to your advantage just makes sense. for example, when adding elements to a
collection. bob's example looks pretty benign to me, too.

Not true. I do it all the time for simplicity sake. Never had a problem.
I'm with Bob.

P.S. See the "On Error GoTo 0" line? That resets it for abnormal error
catching.

Exactly Charlie. In my production apps I have a fully integrated pass-back
error handler, but I still use this technique for little checks like this,
and then immediately reset the error handler. Works for me; I subscribe to
pragmatism over dogma every day.

That was interesting, thank you so much for all the comments. With me trying
to learn vb with excel the different approaches certainly gave me some good
information.
Thanks again
