Looking for worksheet according to name in cell

Guest

Hi, Just a quickie (I hope)
I have a cell that has been given a range name (Reg_no) How can a Worksheet
be selected according to the info within the Ranged cell?
The workbook has many tabs, and what I want is a piece of code that will
take me to the tab with the same name that is within the Ranged cell.
Help greatly appreciated
John

Right click sheet tab>view code>copy/paste this>type the name of the sheet
into a cell and double click on it

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim WantedSheet As String
WantedSheet = Trim(ActiveCell.Value)
If WantedSheet = "" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Sheets(ActiveCell.Value) Is Nothing Then
GetWorkbook ' calls another macro to do that
Else
Application.Goto Sheets(ActiveCell.Value).Range("a4")
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Hi Don, Many thanks for your help.
I tried the code below and it works a treat on its own, but is there some
way I can incorporate it into an existing macro, because the rest of the
macro copies data from the main tab and needs to know what tab to paste it
to.
Thanks

Ah - I have it, and thanks to you.
I used the:
Application.Goto Sheets(ActiveCell.Value).Range("B2")
Many thanks Don

Take care
John
