How can I open a specific worksheet using VBA code on a command button macro?
I was wondering how can I open a specific worksheet using VBA code on a command button macro? When then user accesses my "Welcome Sheet" worksheet and clicks on the command button "Students" this should bring them to the "Students" worksheet.
I tried the following code but I got an invalid syntax error message as you can see in this image. Furthermore, some of the code turned to a red code and also one line had a yellow background effect as you can see in this image.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton_2Click()
Sheets("Students").Activate
End Sub
Incase you wanted to check the command button macro is called the same name as written in the code my excel worksheet is linked below. However, I did check and to me it's all correct.
Video of me showing I have a worksheet called "Students" and I have correctly set up the command button correctly.

Something like:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
ThisWorkbook.WorkSheets("Students").Activate
End Sub
should do the trick. Remember to fully qualify your references (E.g. Workbook --> Sheet here), it'll save you headaches later!
Thank you, I was using the wrong type of bracket symbol.
