Default Autodate worksheet problem


Sorry all, I posted this earlier in the wrong forum. I'll try again.

Hi All ....

This is my first post on this board.

I currently use a small piece of code to automatically name a ne
worksheet todays date. If I open a second worksheet on the same day,
trap the error caused by duplicating the worksheet name and create
message box telling me to rename the new worksheet.

This is the code I use (the first part sends the new worksheet to th
back of the workbook).


Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
On Error GoTo lookout
Sh.Move After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sh.Name = Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yyyy")

Exit Sub

lookout:

MsgBox "Worksheet Called " & Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & " Alread
Exists ... Rename This WorkSheet."

End Sub

What I would like to do is, add an underscore plus a number after th
date if the worksheet of that date already exists. For example, th
first worksheet generated today is called 19-Aug-2006 and I would lik
to call the next one generated today 19-Aug-2006_1, and so on, rathe
than receive the message box telling me that a sheet of that nam
already exists.

Any ideas out there??

Regards ..... g-fer
