I'm trying to copy a tab in a workbook but keep getting error messages, it's
the same error messages just with a different name in them. If I keep
clicking yes then it will copy the sheet, but I have to click yes many times
because it continues to pop up with different names. I don't know what's
going on or why it's saying this but I'd like to fix it so that it doesn't
happen anymore.

Here's 2 examples of error messages that pop up...

"A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name 'Last_Row',
which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this
version of the name? To use teh name as defined in teh destination sheet,
click Yes. To rename the range referred to in the formula or worksheet,
click No, and enter a new name in the Name Conflict dialog box."

"A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name 'LN', which
already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version
of the name? To use teh name as defined in teh destination sheet, click Yes.
To rename the range referred to in the formula or worksheet, click No, and
enter a new name in the Name Conflict dialog box."

The other names that it shows are 'Number_of_Payments', 'Payment_Date',
'Print_Area_Reset', 'Spec9.10', 'Total_Payment', 'Values_Entered',

I'm trying to copy all within one workbook...the sheet I'm trying to copy I
want placed in the same workbook.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a bunch of formulas and named ranges on your sheets.
May be easier to Insert a tab in your destination workbook, then do a copy
from the old to the new.

I didn't create the file, but I've gone through every cell and done an
advanced search for "(" because all formulas have a parenthesis but I still
can't find any formulas on those sheets. What you suggested did work so
thank you, I just wish I knew where these things are that it's talking about
to fix it quicker because there are at least 8 files that with 4 tabs each
that have this problem.

Thanks!
