I just got it work .. I moved the code from my personal.xls to the text.xls
spreadsheet so it was running inside the spreadsheet and it runs just
perfect! I had the code written into my personal.xls so that I could
access from any worksheet, instead of the test spreadsheet. How would I
change it so it would work from any personal.xls?

As I had indicated earlier this was going to be tagged on to another bit of
code that creates a workbook from another program.

This code is better than expected also. After I figure out what was wrong,
I was wowed!

Annette,

I'm at a loss at this point. I'm willing to have a look
at it if you email the workbook. Make sure the VBE and
worksheets are all unprotected. As I said in my first
post, I'm just a VBA amateur. I also work for a living
and have yet to start on my income tax which is due the
end of the month. So no promises.

None the less, at least normally, this should be easy. I
suspect at this point it has to do with how the sheets are
added to the workbook or a sheet referencing issue; i.e.
Sheet1 is not necessarily the same as Sheets("Sheet1").

I was using the first one ... and when I changed the
numbers, it would run
more sheets.

When I use this (second and what you want me to test)
against your example,
nothing happens. I recopied the code into a new name so
I had the same code
and checked the names you provided. The second code runs
but there are no
changes.

Thanks again for staying with this ... I am pretty sure
what you have here
is what I need.

Annette,

The code below was the second code offering and is the
one
that I suggested you use. This should definately go
past
Sheet4 assuming you have more than 4 sheets. The first
(longer code) should only go to Sheet4 - it is designed
to
do this. Tom Ogilvy's comment confirmed this. Are you
saying that this code only goes to Sheet4 ??? Also, the
code below won't do anything unless it finds a match in
Cell A1 of each sheet. Are you sure the names are in
Cell
A1 of each sheet ???

My first code offering was designed to look anywhere in
the used range of each sheet instead of just Cell A1.
Therefore, it could find a match if the name was not in
A1. That is why I suspect you had some success with
that
code. That code also has a flaw I am aware of. I won't
bother to fix it unless we end up using it.

Please confirm if you were using the code below and if
the
names are in Cell A1 of each sheet (except Sheet1).

Dim MainSheet As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range, C As Range, CC As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim ShtCount As Integer

Set MainSheet = Sheets(1)
ShtCount = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
Set Rng = MainSheet.Columns(1). _
SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
For Each C In Rng.Cells
For i = 2 To ShtCount
Set CC = Sheets(i).Range("A1")
If Trim(C) = Trim(CC) Then
CC.Offset(1).Rows.Insert Shift:=xlDown
CC.Offset(1) = C.Offset(, 1)
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Regards,
Greg

Okay, now this is just getting strange. I copied
everything verbatim as you
instructed and thought if this worked ... I could
rework
the code that comes
before this. Well, needless to say ... the second code
that you indicated
for me to use along with the sample provided for layout
refused to run past
sheet 4 ... this is just too bizarre. Obviously
something is wrong here ...
I copied the code again and even closed Excel to be
sure ... I'm using Excel
2000/with Win2000.

I didn't even monkey with the code .. it is exactly as
you wrote it and it
refuses to go past sheet4. If you had your sample
working .. .maybe it is
this notebook I'm using ... it's a .. neva mind ..
doubt
it is that (just
getting frustrated!). There something I'm missing
here!

Yours did run past sheet4 .. yes? And you didn't change
anything in the code
from your original post? I wonder why mine won't work
like yours ... and
the list on sheet1 is not even in alpha order (mine is
going to be in the
final working code).

Thanks again for not giving up.
