Hello I plan on using the code below alot.

VB

Application.Goto (ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("clients").Range(""))

Instead of writing the ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("") alot how do I make this as a variable. I tried just doing a Dim variable as string = that. But it gave me an error. Is there a way to do this? This should hopefully be easy to answer. Thanks in Advance.

Like this:

VB

Dim wsh As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range

Set wsh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("clients")
Set rng = wsh.Range("A1")

'your code...


'and after all
Set rng = Nothing
Set wsh = Nothing
