can you autofill 12 worksheets each with the name of relevant mon.
 

most of my work is done on a monthly basis, so i would like to know if there
is a quick way of setting up new workbooks with 12 worksheets each containing
the name of the relevant month on the sheet tab and in cell a1 on the
worksheet

You should just make a Template and use that but this will do it. The myarry
line is ONE line

Sub NewMonthlyWB()
myarray = Array("Dec", "Nov", "Oct", "Sep", "Aug", "Jul", "Jun", "May",
"Apr", "Mar", "Feb", "Jan")
Workbooks.Add
With ActiveWorkbook
For Each i In myarray
Sheets.Add.Name = i
Sheets(i).Range("a1") = i
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each sh In Sheets
If Len(sh.Name) 3 Then sh.Delete
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End With
End Sub

Create a new workbook with one sheet named Sheet1.

Enter January through December in A1:A12 on Sheet1.

Run this macro then save the workbook as a Template named BOOK(do not add the
..XLT, Excel will do that for you).

Sub Add_New_Worksheets()
'On Sheet1 enter January to December down column A.
Dim mySheet1 As Worksheet
Dim mySheet2 As Worksheet
Dim myCell As Range

Set mySheet1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
For Each myCell In Range("A1:A12")
Set mySheet2 = Sheets.Add(Type:="Worksheet")
mySheet1.Activate
mySheet1.Range("A1").Value = myCell.Value
mySheet2.Name = mySheet1.Range("A1").Value
mySheet2.Range("A1").Value = mySheet1.Range("A1").Value
Next myCell
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
