Thanks Frank. The code gets through the error OK but it only copies the
sheet as Sheet1 and does not rename the sheet Range("L3") & 01, 02, etc.

Hi Phil
try the following:

Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
dim test_wks
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
If .Execute() 0 Then
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
' The line below is where I get the error

on error resume next
set test_wks =
worksheets(mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value)
if err.number<0 then
ActiveSheet.Name =
mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
.Value = .Value
End With
mybook.Close
else
msgbox "Could no rename worksheet"
end if
on error goto 0
Next i
End If
End With

I am using the code below (found in newsgroups) to open a closed file
and copy and rename a worksheet into a "Master" workbook. All works
great unless the name in Range("L3") is the same on more than 1
sheet. How and where do place error control to append 01, 02, etc.
to the end of Range("L3") if that sheetname already exsists?

Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"

Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
' The line below is where I get the error
ActiveSheet.Name =
mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value With
ActiveSheet.UsedRange .Value = .Value
End With
mybook.Close
Next i
End If
End With
