Using VBA how would I get the sheet name of a range? or how do I grab the sheetname I'm leaving when I do a Worksheet_Deactivate()?

What I want to do is resize a range on sheet X when I do a Worksheet_Deactivate() on sheet X. I can do this no problem when I know the name of sheet X but the end user may change the sheet name.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You can refer to the Sheet Index # or the sheet's code name.

There are explanations of both in the helpfile.

Hi Lokai

If this is a named range you are taking about, then you can easily discover the name of the parent sheet:

Code:
MsgBox Range("YourNamedRangeHere").Parent.Name

If you are using the worksheet's DeActivate event then you can refer to the worksheet using Me.
