That wasn't it. Any other ideas?

Excel (2003) file has multiple worksheets, (lots of them) and the user is
trying to delete some of them but Excel creates more sheets in their place.

For example, user deletes sheet name abcsheet1 and it deletes but is
replaced by abcsheet2, deletes abcsheet2, replaced by abcsheet3.

Another part of the problem - is there a way to purge list of sheets after
sheets are deleted?

Thanks
