Rename new worksheet with the current date

[Jeff Parrott]

I have a workbook that I do not use every day, but when I use it I need to
copy the contents of the last sheet to a new worksheet and then name the new
sheet with the current date. What I have now is very simple, since the
worksheet I want to copy is always the active sheet I just used the following:

ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet

Now I want to name the new sheet whatever the current date is. Any ideas?

Sub copysheetandnamedate()
myname = Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy")
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = myname
End Sub

Hello Jeff,

Once the sheet is copied, it becomes the ActiveSheet. This examples
names the new sheet "31-dec-2008".

Code:

Sub fhjskaf()
ActiveSheet.Name = Format(Date, "mmm_dd_yyyy")
End Sub

After the Activesheet gets copied, the copy now becomes the Activesheet.

ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = Format(Date, "mmddyyyy")

Thanks, all of you. I actually sort of used a combination of everything and
came up with:

Sub copysheet()

ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = Format(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")

End Sub

It works just like I wanted it to. Thanks!
