Hidden sheet tabs, unhide them

I use the follow code on workbooks that have a ton of sheet tabs, it even show the hidden sheet tabs which is good.  However when a hidden sheet is selected to goto, it fails.  Is there a way to edit this so if a hidden tab is selected, it unhides it?


Private Sub cmdGoTo_Click()
    If cboSheets.ListIndex <> -1 Then
        Application.Goto Worksheets(cboSheets.Value).Range("A1")
        Unload Me
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim I As Long

    For I = 1 To Worksheets.Count
        cboSheets.AddItem Worksheets(I).Name
    Next I
End Sub

retain the hidden status?  help me understand that.  When I change to a different sheet it re-hides it?  That may be useful but can you explain more of what that does?
What I'm assuming is that in your workbook that some sheets are hidden and that some are not, and after this process you want the hidden ones to remain hidden. If you were to use Rgonzo1971's code as is and a hidden sheet were selected from the combobox, that sheet would become visible until manually made hidden again.  What my additional couple of lines of code does is to "remember" whether the sheet was visible or not, and if it's hidden, restore it to hidden after the process is done.

Thanks for the explanation.  What if the process is manual?  Could it flip back to hidden, when a different sheet tab get the focus?
It only affects the sheet that is selected via the combobox, and the only thing it does is that after line 6 in the code in Post ID ID: 40306087 makes the sheet visible if it was hidden, line 8 would make it hidden again. (If it were visible to begin with it would stay visible.)
