Teh line should be highlighted in red in the VB editor because you are
missing the second ". The line should read

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
not
Sheets("Sheet1).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

Hi,
Iam trying to copy a sheet using VBA, but in vain,

The code is very simple as below,

Sheets("Sheet1).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

But the execution bombs out without any error notification.
When i try to debug and step thru, after this line gets executed,
the execution comes out without any indication of error.
Further statements are not executed and the copy operation does not
take place.

Is something wrong with the way iam trying to copy a sheet?

I need to copy the sheet as the sheet contains some form objects(like
buttons)
and i found that it was quite a hassle to add a new sheet, move the
text, create form objects on the new sheet and most importantly add the
handling code for the forms.
I thought i would create a sheet as a template in the same workbook and
copy and create a new sheet as and when required. But a simple thing
(or i think so) as this is not working.

Can someone help me out?

Using Excel 2002
