export sheets to multiple new files
 

I have a workbook with several worksheets (30) and am trying to find a way to
save each worksheet in the book as a new excel file using the name of the
worksheet as the new file name...I use the move or copy regularly, but was
hoping to avoid having to type the names for each worksheet inorder to save
them?

Thanks for your help!

If your default Save format in 2007 is not xlsx this will not work

Hi Gord

I have it set a xlsm because most of my files have code
And a lot of people have it set to 97-2003

For others here you can change it in 2007 if you want
Office ButtonExcel Options...Save
Change "Save files in this format .............."
