How about this modification? Can I get rid of one of the if statements?
Thanks!

set sh = worksheets("Singles")

if sh is nothing then
set sh = worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(worksheets.count) )
sh.Name = "Singles"
End if
' now the variable sh refers to Singles in either case

Hi,

I have the following code now, Is there a more efficient way to do this
?

For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
counter = 0
If sh.Name = "Singles" Then
MsgBox ("Sheet 'Singles' already exists")
counter = 1
End If
Next

If counter = 0 Then
Set sh = Sheets.Add
sh.Name = "Singles"
End If


Thank you,
