Just another idea to this theme might be something like this.

Sub Demo()
Dim Remember
With Application
Remember = .SheetsInNewWorkbook
.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 3
Workbooks.Add
' Reset
.SheetsInNewWorkbook = Remember
End With

Sheets(1).Name = "Schedule_dat"
Sheets(2).Name = "Actual_dat"
Sheets(3).Name = "Budget_dat"
End Sub


PS. You may not want to save any important files in "C:\WINDOWS\Temp..."

It looks to me as though you have a default workbook of 1 worksheet. Your
code only adds 1, so it fails on 3 if I am correct.

Try this code instead (not tested)

Sub Xtract()
Dim iSheets As Long

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Workbooks.Add

If Worksheets.Count < 3 Then
For iSheets = Worksheets.Count + 1 To 3
Sheets.Add
Next iSheets
End If

Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "schedule_dat"

Sheets("Sheet2").Name = "actual_dat"

Sheets("Sheet3").Name = "budget_dat"

ChDir "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
With ActiveWorkbook
.SaveAs Filename:="C:\WINDOWS\Temp\my_Labor_Data.xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False


.Close
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub

Hi ng
using xl xp pro

Recorded some code to add and rename worksheets to new wb

Sub Xtract()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Add
ChDir "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
With ActiveWorkbook
SaveAs Filename:="C:\WINDOWS\Temp\my_Labor_Data.xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
_
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False

Sheets.Add
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "schedule_dat"

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Name = "actual_dat"

Sheets("Sheet3").Select
Sheets("Sheet3").Name = "budget_dat"
Close
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub
=================================

Execution stops after sheet 2.
wb now has 2 sheets with names as coded
sheet 3 is highlighted by debugger
unclear as to why
