    Hyperlink in excel
    Is it possible to create a hyperlink that stays on the current page even if the worksheet tab is renamed?

    Your question doesn't provide enough information.

    A hyperlink ON the cell (via CTRL-K to open the hyperlink feature) links to anywhere. The name of the sheet is not relevant.


    Text entered into a cell that Excel determines resolves to a hyperlinkable location is creating a CTRL-K type hyperlink.

    The =HYPERLINK() formula can link to a different part of the workbook using text strings to create the link. That could fail if the other sheets were subsequently renamed.

    Ok, I kind of botched the question. More to the point, is there a "generic" way to do this: Sheet1.Name reference? I want not specifically Sheet1 but "whatever sheet is active now".Name. The isdea is I want to use the tab name to create a filename for saving stuff from the current active sheet. Has nothing to do with hyperlinks, sorry for the misleading question. That was another days problem...

    Thanks,
    Bill
