Hi

Your code worked for me with Windows 2000, XL2002.

This also worked.

Sub DeleteAndCopy()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet, ws1 As Worksheet, x As String
Set ws1 = Sheets("Inquiry Form ")
x = ws1.Name
Set ws = Sheets.Add
ws.Move after:=ws1
ws1.Rows("1:100").Copy ws.Range("A1")
ws1.Delete
ws.Name = x
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

XL2002
Regards

William

|
| Background: VBA code was developed under Win95 (yes, client still has
| Win95 machines) in Excel-97 where it seems to work just fine. On a NT
| machine with Excel-97 it seems to work but this the code is not fully
| tested on that machine. Under Win2000 with Excel 2002, the code does
| not work. It steps through certain code but make no change to the
| worksheet(s).
|
| Issue:
| Add a new worksheet, copy first 100 rows from an existing sheet, same
| workbook to the first 100 rows of new sheet, delete the original
| sheet, rename the new sheet to the old sheet name (.delete and .name
| statements do nothing).
|
| Application.Sheets.Add Type:="Worksheet"
| Application.ActiveSheet.Move after:=Worksheets("Inquiry Form ")
| Application.ActiveSheet.Name = "NewInquiryForm"
| Sheets("Inquiry Form ").Rows.("1:100").Copy
| Sheets("NewInquiryForm").Activate
| Range("A1").Select
| ActiveSheet.Paste
|
| Sheets("Inquiry Form ").Activate
| ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
| Sheets("NewInquiryForm").Activate
| Sheets("NewInquiryForm").Name = "Inquiry Form "
|
|
| When the above .delete and .name statements did nothing, I also tried:
|
| Sheets("Inquiry Form ").Activate
| ThisWorkBook.Names("Inquiry Form ").Delete
| Sheets("NewInquiryForm").Activate
| ThisWorkBook.Names("NewInquiryForm").Name = "Inquiry Form "
|
| Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
| Thanks,
