Hello,

So, I've highlighted my worksheet "Sheet2 (Instructions)" in the VB editor I pressed F4 to bring up the properties toolbar and I was able to changed the VB name of my worksheet to "Instructions". Therefore, in the VB editor, the worksheet is now called "Instructions (Instructions)". I did this so I can refer to the worksheet in the VB code as Instructions.Yada.Yada.Yada... instead of Worksheets("Instructions").Yada.Yada.Yada.

My problem is when I try to change the name of "Sheet3" to "ProbeSpec" using the same method I get an error "Invalid Property Value (380)". I tried changing the name of that sheet to anything I could think of (ABC, 123, Sheet, etc.) and I still get the same error. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Worksheets("Instructions") or sheets("Instructions") is far easier to understand written in code that Instructions (Instructions). As you have found changing it round has started causing issues
