How to switch between 25 sheets using Combo Box/Drop Down?

Hi,
my skills in macroprogramming is quite bad, and I would appreciate if you could help me.

My workbook consists of 25 sheets (and still growing), and each sheetname has at least 10 characters. So, maneuvering from one sheet to an another sheet isn't that easy!

Is there a way round my problem without shorten the sheetname?

What about choosing the sheet from a Combo Box/Drop Down (what's the difference?) which is placed in each A1 cell (or at the menuline). I've tried this one, but I do not know how make a macro that takes me to the requested sheet as soon as I've clicked the Combo Box/Drop Down function.

Sincerely,
Andy-S

Actually, Excel all ready provides this function:

Right-Click on the arrows at the bottom left of the worksheets (|< <> >|) and it will provide a list of the worksheets, if you have more than 15, you'll see More Sheets... at the end which will provide you with a Listbox of your worksheets.
