Sorry...I got it. I had accidentally placed the code in the General
Declarations section. But the locking up issue still exists after all of the
sheets have been copied. In other words, if I enter "9", 9 extra sheets
appear and then I'm locked up and can't work within any of the sheets.

I have built some code asking the user how many worksheets he would like to
add to a workbook with 1 visible worksheet. It is attached to a button and I
now need to put that code in a property such as "On Open" (I'm better with
Access), so when the worksheet opens, the first question is "How many...".
I've read some of the other posts, but can't find the property/ies they refer
to.

So far, I have:
------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Open()
Dim NumSheets, x, y

y = Worksheets.Count
NumSheets = InputBox("How many sheets to add?")
If NumSheets = Empty Then
End
Else
For x = 1 To NumSheets
Sheets("1").Select
Sheets("1").Copy After:=Sheets(1)
y = y + 1
ActiveSheet.Name = y - 2
Next x
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------

The reason I have "y - 2" above is because I also have 2 hidden worksheets
(used for data validation). If not "Private Sub Worksheet_Open()", then
where?

Thanks in advance for any help.
