I am attempting to weed out the activate sheet events from code. I use the QueryTables.Add to open a web page in Excel. It doesn't seem to work unless I first activate the worksheet and then use ActiveSheet instead of the sheet name. Is this the way it is supposed to be?

Example (works):

Code:
Worksheets("Temp").Activate
  
' Import web query
  With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
    "URL;" & MyWebPage _
    , Destination:=Range("$A$1"))

Example (doesn't work):

Code:
' Import web query
  With Worksheets("Temp").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
    "URL;" & MyWebPage _
    , Destination:=Range("$A$1"))

Example (doesn't work):
Code:
Worksheets("Temp").Activate
  
' Import web query
  With Worksheets("Temp").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
    "URL;" & MyWebPage _
    , Destination:=Range("$A$1"))

    .Refresh
  End With
