Thank You,
I added your suggestion to the code works fine, Added the msgBox to
inform, one thing I was wondering how I would bring in the name of the
duplicate name in the message.
----------------------------------------------------
For Each cell In Rng
If Not IsEmpty(cell) Then
Set ExistWks = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set ExistWks = Worksheets(cell.Value)
On Error GoTo 0
If ExistWks Is Nothing Then
'it doesn't exist
Sheets("Template").Copy
after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = cell.Value
Else
MsgBox "Name Already Exist"
End If
End If
Next
