I have just completed working on a sheet and now need to make copies of it. I
know I can right click on the sheet tab and select copy however I need 42
sheets. Is there a way to program XL to create 42 copies of the worksheet. I
am not real familuar with VBE but with help can work through it.

Thanks

Hi

yes, this can be done via VBA, however, if you'ld like to let us know how
you would like your 42 sheets named we can incorporate this in the code.

Hi

okay modifying Jim's code - to give sheet names as well
Public Sub Duplicate()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim intCounter As Integer

j = DateValue("26/8/05")
Set wks = ActiveSheet
For intCounter = 1 To 42
wks.Copy , wks
j = j + 7
k = j + 7
ActiveSheet.Name = Format(j, "mmm dd") & " - " & Format(k, "mmm dd")
Next intCounter
End Sub

----
to use the code, right mouse click on the sheet tab - choose view code,
choose insert / module from the menu & copy & paste the code to the right
hand side of the screen. Switch back to your workbook and choose Tools /
Macro / Macros - Duplicate and press the RUN button.
(Please try this on a copy of your workbook first)

That can be a bit confusing but I'll try to explain. I have been naming the
sheets to represent the drivers work week which starts on Thurs and ends the
following Wed. So for example Mar 3 - Mar 9 would be one sheet then Mar 10 -
Mar 16 would be the next and so on. Our weeks are based on the school
calendar week starting with the first day of school Sep 2 - Sep 8.
Hope this makes sence.
