Peculiar Problem when Doing a Sheet.Copy
 

Excel 2003. I have some code that copies sheet by sheet from one workbook
into another, renaming the sheets as it goes. Even though the source
workbook has 80 sheets, the copy never gets past the 58th sheet, then errors
out. I have tried using various source workbooks and always bomb at the 58th
sheet. It is not a problem with the sheet being copied. Here is the code:

For Each sh In TempWb.Sheets
'Copy
sh.Copy After:=Workbooks(YTDWbName).Sheets(1)
'Rename
YTDWb.ActiveSheet.Name = Mid(YTDWb.ActiveSheet.Name, 1, 27) + "(4)"
Next sh

What could be my problem? Thanks and God bless for any help.

Peculiar Problem when Doing a Sheet.Copy
 

POSSIBLY it's a memory issue, but IF all sheets are being copied and
renamed, why not change tack and save the workbook AS a different name
(thus creating another copy) and rename each sheet in this one?

Peculiar Problem when Doing a Sheet.Copy
 

Excel seems to have a problem with repetitive copying of sheets.

cnt = TempWb.sheets.count
TempWb.Sheets.copy After:=Workbooks(YTDWbName).Sheets(1)
for i = 2 to cnt + 1
With Workbooks(YTDWbName).sheets(i)
.Name = Mid(.Name, 1, 27) & "(4)"
Next sh
Next

Peculiar Problem when Doing a Sheet.Copy
 

The sheet copy loop is within another loop that processes more than one
workbook. Thus, the destination workbook is created, then multiple source
workbooks are processed, one by one, copying each sheet in the source into
the destination. If it were just one workbook, then the saveas and rename
would work. What do you mean by a memory issue?
