Opening worksheets based on Cell names in VBA

Question

it's my first time posting on Stack Overflow. I am trying to use VBA to get it to create a new worksheet based on a cell value in sheet 1. But if the sheet already exists I need it to open that sheet instead. I'm having difficulty with this as I don't actually know the name of the sheet. I thought I could do this if I create another sheet where it stores the names of projects, using a counter. It shows me I have run-time error 91. This is the code I currently have:

Public Sub DailyReport()

Dim project As Range
project = Worksheets("Target Flow").Range("B3")

Dim i As Integer
i = 1

If Worksheets("Target Flow").Range("B3") <> 
Worksheets("Projects").Cells(1000, 1).Value Then

Worksheets("Target Flow").Range("B3").Select
Selection.Copy

Worksheets("Projects").Activate
Cells(i, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste


Dim WS As Worksheet
Set WS = Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count))

WS.Name = project.Value

i = i + 1

Else

Worksheets("Target Flow").Activate
Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Range("B3").Value).Activate

End If

End Sub

If anyone could guide me in the right direction, I'd be grateful!!

This code will scan all sheets in the active workbook to see if there is a name match, if there is it will activate it. After the loop if it doesn't see a match was made it will create it.

Dim targetSheetName As String
Dim targetSheetFound As Boolean
Dim sheet As Worksheet

targetSheetName = Worksheets("Target Flow").Range("B3")
targetSheetFound = False

For Each sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

    If sheet.Name = targetSheetName Then

        targetSheetFound = True
        sheet.Activate

    End If

Next

If Not targetSheetFound Then

    set sheet = Sheets.Add
    sheet.Name = targetSheetName

End If
