I have written a macro to add the sheet name to the header and the page number to the footer I can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Code:
Sub UpdateHeader()
' UpdateHeader Macro
    
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "&Tab"
        .CenterFooter = "Page & &P &"
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
   
End Sub
 
I am using excel 2010 . I figured out the initial error of my ways. I believe I have determined the correct formula but an interesting thing happens. When I first run the macro the code is entered into the center header and center footer but in order for me to get the page to read correctly I have to click on the center header and footer. Is there a way to select the header and footer so the macro can do this instead of me.

Code:
Sub UpdateHeader()
' UpdateHeader Macro
    
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "&[Tab]"
        .CenterFooter = "Page &[Page] "
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
   
End Sub
