We must change the code to do this
I hope I have time to create a example for you today

I figured out what the issue is Ron, and I hope you can help me out.
When the Copy_To_Worksheets sub is initialized, I want to delete
Sheet1 from the newly created Workbooks. I am using the following code
to do so:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
I've entered it into the Copy_to_Worksheets macro after the ('Restore
ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....) commands and also in
the Copy_to_Workbooks macro right after the Call Copy_to_Worksheets
but it seems to mess with the Parent thing in either location. Any
ideas?
