I simply want to copy a cell and paste it into the worksheet tab to name the
sheet what is in the cell. When I record a macro, it just trys to select the
same sheet I selected when recording the macro. I was wandering how to get
the macro to select the current sheet. here is the recorded macro:

Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("55555").Select
Sheets("55555").Name = "1 06"
Range("B11").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
End Sub

Thank You for your help!
 
Do you mean

Activesheet.Name = Range("A1").value

From the sheet with a1 wihtout selections or copying

sub namesht()'
sheets("55555").name=range("a1").value
end sub
 
Ok thank you that works great! Now could you tell me the code to go to the
next sheet with a loop? Like change the name then go to the next sheet and
change it, and so on 26 times? I was trying something like this but it wasn't
working:

Sub namesht() '
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 26
Sheets(i).Name = Range("a1").Value
Next i
End Sub

thank you!
 
Give this a whirl...

Sub namesht() '
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 26
Sheets(i).Name = Sheets(i).Range("a1").Value
Next i
End Sub
 
Might as well count them Jin

Sub namesht()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To Activeworkbook.Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(i).Name = Worksheets(i).Range("a1").Value
Next i
End Sub

Assuming that the OP is doing all of the sheets then I would agree... But
then I would use a worksheet object (just because I like to be fancy)...

Sub namesht()
Dim wks As worksheet
for each wks in worksheets
wks.Name = wks.Range("a1").Value
Next wks
End Sub

Sub wsname()
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.Name = WS.Cells(1, 1).Value
Next WS
End Sub

Thanks to all of you I learned a lot! For my purposes this worked:

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 26
Sheets(i).Name = Sheets(i).Range("a1").Value
Next i

thanx again
