VBA: How do I find if a sheet name exists?

Zone: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: vba, sheet, name, exists

Hi.

How do I do this?

if object_exists(activeworkbook.sheets('A sheet name which may or may not exist')) then
' sheet exists
else
' sheet does not exist
end if

I know I can iterate the sheets collection looking for the .Name, but I've got around 200 sheets and there is a loop which goes through this many times, add to this loop another loop to look for the sheet, I'd much rather know it there is an easier way.

Thanks.

Richard Quadling.
