XL2007 .CodeName bug when copying sheet

R

Reinhard Thomann

My application uses .CodeName property to identify XL sheets.
When copying a sheet within a workbook the new sheets gets the same CodeName
plus Index.
This fails in XL2007 SP1.

Steps to reproduce bug:

1. Create new workbook
2. Modify .CodeName property of sheet 1 (e.g. test) in VBE
3. Save workbook
4. Close workbook and open it again (don't start VBE (F11))
5. Copy sheet 1
6. Check .CodeName property of copied sheet
7. BUG: CodeName is not e.g. test1

Does anybody knows a workaround to this problem?

TIA
Reinhard

Hi OssiMac,

you have to copy the sheet imediately after opening workbook (Point 4.) .
Don't start VBE (F11) before.
If VBE is stared before copying works correctly!?
I tried it many times with different file formats (2007 and 2003). Always
the same behaviour.

Hi Reinhard,

Your are right. Also you can copy as many times as you like and it is still
Sheet1, Sheet4, Sheet5 etc. (I had 3 sheets to start with). After opening and
closing VBA editor then it will show Test1,Test2 etc.
