Deleting a sheet creates a new one
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 |

sounds like there is a macro operating
check in the workbook module. "laralea" wrote: 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.

That wasn't it. Any other ideas?

Deleting a sheet creates a new one
this still sounds like a macro
set <tools<options<security <macro security in <security level set to very high in <trusted publishers unselect the trust all installed add-ins and templates hit OK until you are back at the worksheet close excel and reopen the workbook. try to delete a sheet if the problem still happens I have no idea what is going on. if it doesn't happen, there is a macro somewhere "laralea" wrote: That wasn't it.

Deleting a sheet creates a new one
Might be easier to start in safe mode.
Close excel windows start button|run excel /safe click ok (macros will be disabled) File|Open your workbook and delete a sheet. What occurs?

I thought some macros could still run in safe mode?

Deleting a sheet creates a new one
I was attempting to disable any add-ins or hidden workbooks like Personal.xls in
xlstart or alternate startup location that may be doing the deed. Once OP opens the bad workbook, macros in that workbook will work, you are correct. So.......if OP has missed some code in a sheet or thisworkbook it will keep adding sheets in that workbook.
