    My next step is to make a dynamic button that also uses Cell C8 as the sheet name to jump to. AKA: I want the "Go" button to jump the user exactly to the client sheet which is named in cell C8.

    I have used this simple VBA to use a button to jump to a sheet name:

    Hello mworonuk,

    Please use code tags to wrap your code. It makes it easier to follow and copy.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

    Hello mworonuk,

    You can do this directly without needing to make a string variable.

    Hello mworonuk,

    Sorry about that, the cell address should have quotes around it like this...
