And by all means, check out for example Ron de Bruin's web site with Excel
tips and tricks (the following link is in fact directly relevant to worksheet
copying):

Okay, you can put the following code in for example your ThisWorkbook code
module in BookA.

I just hacked it together, and I'm not yet deleting the original sheets
(Sheet1-3) in the newly generated workbooks, simply because I haven't figured
out a way to turn off Excel's warning yet (but it cannot be impossible). The
same goes for overwriting already existing workbook files (generates
warnings, must obviously be possible to turn off).

The code isn't very robust since it doesn't do any proper error checking,
but it's still okay for demo purposes, I reckon :o)

Of course, you should change the constants as you see fit.

Hi All,

Here is what I need to do:

I have 2 excel workbooks. For simplicity lets assume them to be BookA
and BookB. BookA has 20 odd worksheets (say s1, s2..........s20) and
BookB has 3 sheets (say bs1,bs2 and bs3). What I need to do create a
file that has s1 from BookA and bs1 to bs3 of BookB in that order.
Hence I would have 20 files (for the 20 sheets of BookA) each with the
filename as "SomePrefix_S1.xls" ........ "SomePrefix_S20.xls".

I tried to do this but unfortunately lost my control on the code and
just too confused to know where to start again. Any help in this regard
or pointers will be highly appreciated.
