Default How do I automatically rename a sheet from the summary page?

I have a spreadsheet which contains a summary sheet and then a number of
detailed worksheets behind that. Is it possible when entering details onto
the summary sheet to then automatically create and name a new worksheet?
Possibly from a template worksheet?

Yes that is possible but it requires a fair bit of custom VBA code to do it.
It is not really a great project for the first timer. That being said if you
still want to go ahead with this then you should develope a good template
sheet and determine what logic you want to use to determine when you need to
create a new sheet and what customization of the copy of the sheet will be
required when it is created... Record a macro to accomplish the customization
and then probably post back in the programming section of the news group...
