Sorry, CountZero, but I don't quite get what you want to tell me. I'm not a native english speaker so sometimes I miss some meaning. But I'll try my best.

The workbook class has a method to set the active sheet. Sure this currently just has meaning to Excel itself, when you open the file. It's just the first sheet which appears. Once you've opened Excel, you can make any sheet the active when. It will always be the one you're working on.

In applications it is not really required to know which sheet is the active one. The problem is that you always need to know the sheet you work on and often you also need to know the workbook you are working in.

So my idea was that I always work on just one (the "active") sheet, which is known to the workbook, and hand over just the workbook to my procedures.

A better, or more useful approach might have been to have, in every worksheet, information about their workbook. But this would lead to circular references, as the developer told me, which would mess some things up (if I understood correctly).

I hope this answers your question?
