I found this code that makes a new workbook with one sheet, modified it and deleted some unwanted stuff and added code to do two sheets. Changed the
'ws name' lines to include a date and the format.

The code near the bottom to get rid of any sheet not "named as" was originally for just one new sheet. If s.Name < ws1.Name Then s.Delete

I added for the second sheet but now those lines error out with Object Required.

The Application.DisplayAlerts = False both before AND afterwards is as the code was displayed. This is puzzling to me. Don't know if it is a typo or for real.

When I noticed it I changed the last one to True, but still get the error.
I want to get rid of the default sheet1 to sheet3.

I'm sure there are some Dim statement I don't need, but was going to wait until code worked as I wanted, then dismiss the un-needed ones.

Thanks,
Howard

the array s is not filled with the sheet names.
But it is easier to do it with For each wsh in ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

Try:

Sub aBook()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim wsh As Worksheet
Dim btn As OLEObject
Dim lLines As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set wb = Workbooks.Add
Set ws1 = Worksheets.Add
ws1.Name = Format(Date, "[$-409]d-mmm-yy;@") & " First Choice"

Set ws2 = Worksheets.Add
ws2.Name = Format(Date, "[$-409]d-mmm-yy;@") & " Second Choice"

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each wsh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If wsh.Name < ws1.Name And wsh.Name < ws2.Name Then wsh.Delete
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

That clears that up nicely.

Thanks.
