Maybe...

dim newSheet as object
set newsheet = masterworkbook.sheets.add(type:="C:\.....")

I have a formatted excel file with cell formatting plus an inserted bitmap

Can I add a worksheet using that file as a template?

Set newsheet = MasterWorkBook.Worksheets.Add("C:\Program Files\Bourret
Tools\_POTemplate.xlt")

VBA help says "If you are inserting a sheet based on an existing template,
specify the path to the template. The default value is xlWorksheet."

So is this valid?...

It doesn't work for me!

newsheet is still nothing after this line
