Yes it does work the first time, but Excel automatically calls the second
sheet "Sheet2" in the workbook so it will debug as it will be looking for
"Sheet1". Actually I have just tried the following and it seemed to work...

Sheets.Add
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
Dim sName As String
sName = "ABC"
Set oSheet = Application.ActiveSheet
oSheet.Name = sName

What happened when you tried it?

(It worked for me.)

I want to insert a new sheet and name it "ABC":

Sheets.Add
Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "ABC"

This is fine for the first time as it inserts a new sheet called "Sheet1".
However the next time I do it the newly inserted sheet is called "Sheet2",
but the code is still looking for a "Sheet1".

Can I do something simple like:

Sheets.Add.Name = "ABC"

Thanks in advance.
