Don,

Don't know if this applies to your situation, but

The first time you copy Sheet1, when you go to the VB Editor and check the
Project winddow you will find a Sheet11. Copy Sheet11 and you get Sheet111.
And so on. When this string gets too long Excel balks and may crash.

See if this happening to you.

No Picture with Macro Assigned - No Problem

Micros**t




am copying sheets in a macro...
Copy a sheet, rename the copy, copy the sheet again, and
rename the copy again...

Usually on the third copy, I get the following error
message:

Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

If I then try to do a manual copy, Excel crashes and sends
a Dump to Microsoft. (Which I don't believe they do
anything with...)

If I start again from scratch and do the copies manually,
then on the
third time, Excel crashes and sends a Dump to Microsoft.

I was thinking I was running out of resources, so I
deleted a large number of sheets and reduced the size of
the workbook by 60%, but the problem still occurs every
time.


Any ideas gratefully received.
