Brad & Beto,

Thanks for your assistance. I guess my problem was that I've never included
a function in any of my macros before. I'll give it a go, and see what I
come up with.


Thanks again.
Andrew

That function worked for me. Just need a subroutine to
call it.

Sub CreateWorkbook()
Dim wbkNew As Workbook
Set wbkNew = NewWorkbook(20)
End Sub

Ladies & Gents,

I wish to update my macros to open new workbooks with the
required number of
spreadsheets. I have the following function, but am
unable to get it to
work (I'm not too confidant with functions);

Function NewWorkbook(wsCount As Integer) As Workbook
' creates a new workbook with wsCount (1 to 255)
worksheets
Dim OriginalWorksheetCount As Long
Set NewWorkbook = Nothing
If wsCount < 1 Or wsCount 255 Then Exit Function
OriginalWorksheetCount =
Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook
Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook = wsCount
Set NewWorkbook = Workbooks.Add
Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook =
OriginalWorksheetCount
End Function

Can anybody give me some clues either on how to get this
function to work
within a macro? Or does anyone have some code that will
open a new workbook
with a specified number of spreadsheet?


Thanks in advance
Andrew
