In my macro, what code would I need to have to have all my worksheet names be 6 characters long? (Or any number of characters for that matter.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Not sure exactly what you are looking for but, something like this would truncate all your worksheet names to 6 characters...

Code:
Sub Name6()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        ws.Name = Left(ws.Name, 6)
    Next
End Sub
