Hello and thank you, too.

I will create a sheet for every name out of a list of persons and I will
name the sheets like the Persons. But of cause you are right I have to
include something if two people have the same name. And I thing it will
be inspired by you're code snipe. Happily this part will be easy because
I sort the List before Creating the Sheets ;).

regards

Just don't run the macro twice or it will error out because you already
have a
sheet named "renamed".

You may want to trap for such an occurence.

Sub copysheetandrename()
Dim n
On Error GoTo trap
n = 1
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = "renamed" & n
Exit Sub
trap: If n = "" Then n = 0
n = n + 1
Resume
End Sub
