I have a Setup sheet, which has a button to creat a new sheet, which
actually copies a tamplet. When i click this button it calls the new
tab "Tamplet (2)"
Is there a sub i can put in the copy routine to auto-rename the tabs
sequencially?
Note number of tabs is based upon how many times the user clicks the
new page button.

Thanks!
~Josh

I put a commmandbutton on a worksheet, double clicked on that commandbutton and
pasted your code.

It worked right out of the box.

If you're using xl97, try changing the commandbutton's .takefocusonclick
property to false.

If that's not it, what happened when you tried it?

Yep.

Option Explicit
Public Sub AddSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("template")
ws.Copy _
before:=Worksheets("setup")
SetSheetName ActiveSheet
End Sub
Private Sub SetSheetName(ws As Worksheet)
On Error Resume Next
Dim sname As String
Dim index As Long
index = 0
Do
Err.Clear
index = index + 1
sname = "template" & Format$(index, "000")
ws.Name = sname
Loop While Err.Number <> 0
End Sub


When you copy a sheet, it becomes the activesheet. So we just pass the
activesheet to the "setSheetName" subroutine.
