Hi Ron
Thanks for the correction.
The macro is working the way that I would like, except for one thing. When
it runs, I am always prompted to rename the sheet manually. The new sheet is
always Master Event ((3), the date that I input is not being implemented.
Is the input box expecting an actual date format? I thought it would just
take any text
Here is my code:
Sub CopyPrint()
Dim DateText As String
DateText = Application.InputBox("Enter date here", "Event Date")
If Trim(DateText) = "" Then Exit Sub
With Worksheets("Master Event Calc.")
.Copy After:=Sheets("Master Event Calc.")
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = .Name & " " & DateText
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox "Change the name of : " & ActiveSheet.Name & " manually"
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
ActiveSheet.Visible = False
.Select
End With
End Sub
It's great except for the naming issue!

Thanks for the brainwaves!
