HiCRayF,

I'm trying to test for the Worksheet name but is was created using an in
stream calculation.

The following demonstrates a different approach:

Sub Tester()
Dim NewBettingWs As Worksheet
Dim sStr As String

sStr = Format(srcProgramDataInputWs. _
Range("F3").Value, "mm-dd-yy ") & _
Left(srcProgramDataInputWs.Range("H3").Value, 3)

On Error Resume Next 'In case the sheet already exists!
Set NewBettingWs = Sheets(sStr)
On Error GoTo 0

If Not ws Is Nothing Then
'Sheet already exists - What do you want to do?!
Else
'Sheet not found, so go ahead and create it
srcBettingTemplateWs.Copy befo=ActiveSheet
Set NewBettingWs = ActiveSheet
With NewBettingWs
.Name = sStr
.Unprotect
.Tab.ColorIndex = 5
End With
End If

End Sub

Regards,
Norman

I'm trying to test for the Worksheet name but is was created using an in

.Name = Format(srcProgramDataInputWs. _
Range("F3").Value, "mm-dd-yy ") & _
Left(srcProgramDataInputWs.Range("H3").Value, 3)

I tried adding a:
Dim NewBettingWsName As Worksheet

then changed the above to:
NewBettingWsName = Format(srcProgramDataInputWs. _
Range("F3").Value, "mm-dd-yy ") & _
Left(srcProgramDataInputWs.Range("H3").Value, 3)

.Name = NewBettingWsName

In order for me to use "NewBettingWsName" in my test for the function
provided but I get an error on the "NewBettingWsName =" line.
Also, where does a Function go? Do I place this inside the routine or
somewhere special?

Hi CRayF,

You could test for the existence of the sheet by passing the sheet name
to
the following function:

'====================
Function SheetExists(sName As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = CBool(Len(Sheets(sName).Name))
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
'<<====================

The code below creates the new Worksheet perfectly fine, however, it
gets
an
error if it tries to add the worksheet if it already exists. Is there a
way
to test first to see if this Worksheet exists before trying to create
it?
