I have a workbook with over 100 worksheets. I want to creat a table of
contents on 1 sheet to link, by name of the worksheet, instead of scrolling
the tabs. Possible?

Just noticed through a small bit of trial that I can link insert hyperlink,
then place in this document and the macro is done!

If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then
MsgBox "Workbook is protected.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If

On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.DialogSheets(sID).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
On Error GoTo 0
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveSheet

cMaxLetters = 0
End If

Set CurrentSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
cLetters = Len(CurrentSheet.Name)

cMaxLetters = cLetters
End If

Hi Gord,

I think there is a small typo in that code::
Dim iLeft As Long should be Dim cLeft.As Long

I also like code due to Jim Rech:

Sub ShowSheetList()
On Error Resume Next
If ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count <= 16 Then
Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").ShowPopup 500, 225
Else
Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs"). _
Controls("More Sheets...").Execute
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Correct on the ileft/cleft issue, although it seems to make no difference when
the code runs??

I prefer Bob's code as the worksheets are listed on one visible "page" with
option buttons rather than a scrollable listbox.

Hi Gord,

Correct on the ileft/cleft issue, although it seems to make no difference
when
the code runs??

Only if no Option Explicit statement is used. Personally, I would always
advocate the use of OE.

I prefer Bob's code ...

I too like Bob's code, especially his adroit use of a dialog sheet. My use
of Jim Rech's code is driven by habit and a penchant for using inbuilt
functionality if possible.

Right, I forgot the OE when I copied to an add-in in its own module.
