I don't know if you are familiar with VB so,
Hit Alt and F11 to open the VB editor,
Click 'Insert' 'Module'
In the empty screen cut and paste this into it:-

Sub NewSheet()
On Error GoTo Error
Dim AddSheet
Sheets.Add
AddSheet = Format(Date, "dd mmm yy")
ActiveSheet.Name = AddSheet
Exit Sub
Error:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "A Sheet named " & AddSheet & " already exists."
End Sub

Exit the VB editor,
Click 'Views' 'Toolbars' 'Forms' 'Button' to put a cammand button on
the sheet,
Right click the Button, select 'Assign Macro', click 'NewSheet'
Rename the Button and move it where you want it and there you go,
Regards,
Alan.
