Variables available in a worksheet:
LEFT(ProgramDataInput!H3,3) returns a 3 char name (or PHX)
ProgramDataInput!F3 hold a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy (or
09/21/05)

In the code below, instead of a fixed "NewWS" name, I'd like to create it
with a name the worksheet "mm-dd-yy rrr"
Example would be "09-21-05 PHX"
How do do the same "LEFT(ProgramDataInput!H3,3)" in a macro and how would I
substring out "09-21" out of "09/21/05" to use below?

If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Dim NewNewWS As Worksheet
Set NewNewWS = Worksheets.Add

Perfect that worked... thanks a million
Now, any chance you have an answer for this thread:
"Copping cells EXACTLY from one Worksheet to a new Worksheet? " (misspelled)
I am now trying to copy contents into this new worksheet from a template.
Its not coping the formatting...

This was perfect. Here is the complete code after I added in your code for

BTW€¦ How is an If this then that Else If this then that€¦ coded in VBS?
Once one of the below will be true€¦ Would that not be more efficient then
the way I coded this?
