Tab-naming macro only works once :-(

[Guest]

Hi.. thanks to you guys, I learned to name tabs with a macro. I changed some
information on some worksheets, and tried to run the macro again to adjust
tab names... but nothing happened. What's wrong?

This is the macro I'm using (aa3 is the cell in each sheet that contains the
name):

Sub TABNAMING()
Dim i As Integer
On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(i).Name = Sheets(i).Range("aa3").Value
Next i
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

When using VBA to re-name sheets a common mishap is that the code tries to
assign a name that is already taken by another sheet the first time around.

Try this:


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If Target.Value <> "" Then
Me.Name = Target.Value
End If
End If
End Sub

Where "$A$1" needs to be changed to the cell that contains the tabname.
You will find, theat when you refresh, the names do not refresh
immediately. However, select A1 in groupmode, click CTRL+C and CTRL+V
- given that every sheet has an individual name, you should be finr
