Create a new worksheet with a macro and giving it a specific name
I'm trying to create a new worksheet with a macro where the worksheet has a
specific name. However, when the macro creates the worksheet, it creates one with the name "SheetXX". I can continue the macro to rename "SheetXX" to the specific name I want, but captured in the macro is referenece to "SheetXX". When I run the macro again, it creates a new worksheet with the name "SheetXX+1" and then bombs out because it can't find "SheetXX" to rename it to the specific name that I want. Anyway to to have the macro create the new worksheet with the specific name without having to have the Excel generated "SheetXX" name and then having to rename it to the specific name? Thanks for your help. Steve Krieger |

Create a new worksheet with a macro and giving it a specific name
The short answer is no. When a new sheet is created XL gives it a name as you
have specified. You can then just rename it and then reference it by that name. Worksheets.Add ActiveSheet.Name = "Tada" Worksheets("Tada").range("A1").Value = "Hello World" -- HTH...
