After worksheet codename change the object does not exist

[hombibi]

Following the approach in Change Worksheet Codename

I found that the object can not be called with its new name in the same execution.

Option Explicit

Private Sub test_codename()

Dim ws As Worksheet

Set ws = Sheets(1)
ws.[_CodeName] = "Sheet1"
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
Debug.Print ws.CodeName
Debug.Print Sheet1.CodeName
Sheet1.Activate

Set ws = Sheets(1)
ws.[_CodeName] = "CodeNameTestTwo"
Set ws = Sheets(1)
Debug.Print ws.CodeName
Debug.Print CodeNameTestTwo.CodeName
CodeNameTestTwo.Activate

End Sub

Consider the code below for a standard worksheet, the first Codename change does nothing, but confirmes the code,
The second iteration fails with variable not set.
It looks as if they compiler trips as the new object is not available yet at compile time.

Anyone know a way to solve this?

I figured it out: both objects need to be declared and the assigned,

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets(1)
Dim CodeNameTestTwo As Worksheet
Set CodeNameTestTwo = Sheets(1)

Solved.
