If you are dealing with code that refers to Activesheet many times, but you aren’t sure how to make the sheet you would like active, here’s how.

Before your code that refers to the active sheet, you must activate the sheet you would like manipulated. Here are two ways:

By program name:

sheet3.activate

By tab name:

sheets("mytabname").activate

    Hi. I’m sorry about my English. I need to ask you something. What if I want to activate a sheet when I click on an specific option button and another sheet when I click on another option button? Help me please! Those option buttons are on a userform.
