Same problem. here's the macro (believe it or not I combined it with a button
on my "master" sheet... could this be casing the problem?)
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'This assumes the cells you wish to name the sheets after are in Column A
'starting on row5 on the "Inputs" worksheet.
'inX is a variable used to count down the rows.
Dim inX As Integer
Dim stName As String
inX = 5
Do Until Cells(inX, 1).Value = ""
stName = Cells(inX, 1).Value
Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = stName
Worksheets(stName).Activate
Cells(1, 1).Value = "Date"
Cells(1, 2).Value = "Time"
Cells(1, 3).Value = "Results"
Worksheets("Inputs").Activate
inX = inX + 1
Loop
End Sub

it shouldn't have done that, but here's a fix
put this line right after ActiveSheet.Name = stName
Worksheets(stName).Activate

It only changed the cells in the "Master" worksheet.
Sorry for trouble.

Insert these lines between the lines 'Activesheet.Name = stName' and
'Worksheets("Master").Activate'
Cells(1,1).Value = "Date"
Cells(1,2).Value = "Time"
Cells(1,3).Value = "Results"

Cool. Thanks!
I don't suppose there is something you could write in this VB macro that
will put the headers in the sheets also? Such as A1 ="Date", B1="Time",
C1="Results" when the new sheets are created?

At the top of your VB window, you'll see some buttons that look like controls
for the media player, with an arrow (to run), a square (to stop) and one with
two parallel bars to puasse (that one should be disabled if the code isn't
running).. Just click the "play" button.

I must be missing something or just a Visual Basic dummy... I copied the text
from "Sub NewSheet()" to "End Sub" and replaced the "inX = 1" to "inX = 5" in
a Visual Basic module in my workbook. Now what? Dumb question, but how do I
get it to work?
Thanks in advanced for not laughing at me,

Replace the line inX=1 with inX=5. Then when the code gets to the statement
Do While Cells(inX,1)...., it will start at the cell on Row(inX) Column(1),
which is A5.
The way it's written, this code will run until it hits a blank in column A.
If you need to skip a blank, or want to stop, start, or skip certian cells,
you'll need to add some If statements.

Thanks. On my "master" sheet, I have a column labeled "People" in A$, with
the list starting in A5. Other users would input their data here so the list
could vary in length. I would like separate sheets generated with these names
so then the users could input results per "person" in their respective tabs.
This would include 3 columns... such as column one = "date" , column 2 =
"time", and column 3 = "result data". I think I figured out how to summarize
the data in a separate "summary" sheet by referring to the sheet name and
meeting multiple criteria (using this very helpful site), I just need this
last bit of info and I'm set! Of course if you can think of a better way to
do this, then please share. Thanks so much for you help!!

The way this is written, it goes down Column A one cell at a time. Cell
references in VBA are Cells(row,column), and you can see in the do While loop
that the row is being incremented as each sheet is created.
If you have certain criteria that you want to meet, you could do it with If
statements or maybe a Select Case argument, depending on your needs. It
might help if you could send an example of what you're trying to do so I can
help meet your needs.

How can this be modified to "look" at only a specific list of names to create
the sheets?
Thanks,

Here's some code that will go down from A1 to A? (until it runs into an empty
cell) on the "Master" sheet and will create and name sheet according to what
is in each cell.

Is it possible to make multple worksheets from a selection of multiple cells?
This would mean a selection of 10 cells would generate 10 sheets titled with
the cell conent.
