Excel VBA Programming The Complete Guide - The Name Property on Workbook and Worksheet Objects

This video tutorial explains the concept of properties in VBA, focusing on their readability and writeability across different objects like workbooks and worksheets. It highlights that while some properties can be both read and written, others may be restricted to only one of these actions. The tutorial demonstrates how to reference and modify the name property on both workbook and worksheet objects, emphasizing the importance of understanding object-specific permissions and consulting documentation.

What is a key takeaway about properties in Excel VBA?

• Properties are always writable.

• Properties are only available on workbook objects.

• Properties cannot vary between objects.

• Properties can be both readable and writable.

How can you reference a workbook by its name?

• By using a special workbook function.

• By providing a string argument with its name.

• By using its order of opening.

• By using its numeric position.

What is the difference between referencing a worksheet by index and by name?

• Index is faster but less reliable.

• Name is faster but less reliable.

• Index is more accurate than name.

• Both methods provide the same result.

What can you do with the name property on a worksheet object?

• Both read and write a new name.

• Only read the name.

• Only write a new name.

• Neither read nor write the name.

Why can't you change the name property of a workbook object?

• Because it is not a valid property.

• Because it requires special permissions.

• Because it is a read-only property.

• Because it is a writable property.
