Dim wkbkdestination As Workbook
Dim destsheet As Worksheet

For Each ThisWorkSheet In wkbkorigin.Worksheets 
    'this throws subscript out of range if there is not a sheet in the destination 
    'workbook that has the same name as the current sheet in the origin workbook.

Some people don't like this strategy because it makes "inappropriate" use of error handling, but in VBA, I believe it's fine. Looping through all the sheets until you discover a match is an alternative strategy.

Function WorksheetExists(shtName As String, Optional wb As Workbook) As Boolean
    Dim sht As Worksheet

    If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ThisWorkbook
    On Error Resume Next
    Set sht = wb.Sheets(shtName)
    On Error GoTo 0
    WorksheetExists = Not sht Is Nothing
End Function

I hope this helps you.
