Copy sheet and rename tab

K

Kerry

Hi,
I have a time sheet that I use at work that I want to improve upon. We use
excel 2003. There is a button that prints out the time sheet then clears the
sheet ready for the next fortnight. What I want it to do is print it out,
then copy the sheet into the same workbook and rename the tab. I have put a
formula in cell A81 which is formatted so as to name the new tab. Below is
the code that already exists to print out and reset the sheet. I tried
recording a macro and entering the code but it wouldn't change the tab name.
What code will I need to enter to copy the sheet and rename it. I am not a
programmer so cannot do this myself. I would appreciate any help.

Thankyou

Hi Gary"s Student,
I entered the code but it said syntax error on the activesheet.name line. Is
it possible to enter this code directly into the existing code?
Thanks for your help.

Make sure text wrapping is not killing you.

Prompt:= and Type:= are all part of a single line!

That works thankyou. That is one way of solving the copy and rename problem.
I will continue to work on the program so that when I press the new worksheet
button it will print it out then copy and rename automatically and clear the
old time sheet.

Thankyou very much for your help Gary"s Student.
