I have russian langauge text in some macros, which is not recognised by some
computers (even if the text is readable in excel, it is not illegible in
Visual Basic)
ie VB=Sheets(Array("Ã*ðÃ*õèñ", "peanuts")).Select
and refers to арахи� (russian for peanuts)
Anbody now haw to set the language function to read this encoding in VB?

I don't know enough about international issues to be helpful...

But if you don't get any good answers, you may want to just declare some
variables.

Dim PWks as worksheet
set pWks = worksheets("à ðà õèñ")

then you only have that funny looking name once in your code.

sheets(pwks.name, ...).select

Or maybe using the codename of the sheet would be sufficient.

Next time you're in the VBE, select your project and hit F4 to see it's
properties.

If you expand all that stuff, you'll see the name of the worksheet and its code
name:

Sheet4(à ðà õèñ)

Then you can do things like:

sheet4.range("a1").value = "hi there"

======
And a completely untested suggestion...

Inside the VBE
tools|options|Editor format
change the font to something that can display those characters nicely--and
doesn't screw up the rest of your code.

You could change the name to non-Russian characters, check the properties to
find the corresponding codename, then change the name back???

Then you could use that codename.
