THE PROMPT

RICHARD NERO

Write me a VBA macro that will create a new sheet

called Index. If it already exists check with the user
that it is ok to carry on and clear all from the Index
sheet before continuing.

Loop through all sheets in the workbook and add a

hyperlink to each sheet in the Index sheet in
column C.

Make column B 20 pixels wide and then highlight

that cell the same colour as the corresponding
sheet with white borders.
