Paul,
Maybe you need an event macro that works upon selecting a cell with a sheet
name in it. I have used columns C:F for those names, you can change to suit.
'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "C:F"
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> "" Then
Worksheets(Tragte.Value).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
End If
End If
End Sub
