QUESTION: Thanks I figured it out but I am still trying to figure out if I have macro in one sheet how can I run it on another sheet without having to copy and paste the macro everytime? Please advise === Answer ===

A macro can refer to all sheets, or specific sheets - so for instance

for each sh in activeworkbook.sheets sh.name=sh.name & "-test" next

would go through all worksheets

or

sheets("MySheet").range("a1").value=1

would set a1 on MySheet to 1

does this help?!

An easy way to do it is to make all of the sheets active then type in TESTALL in cell A1 and it will rename cell A1 in all of the sheets to TESTALL.

To make all of the sheets active, click on the sheet 1 tab (or whatever it is named), then hold down the shift key and click on the other tabs that you want to make active.
