Copy Unknown Number of Sheets

[Guest]

I have a Macro that prompts the user for a number. The program should then
insert a copy of an existing page that number of times. The program prompts
the user, but then stops before inserting any new pages. Here is what I have
right now. Thank you for all your help!!

Sub CopySheets()
Dim PhaseNum As Double
Dim Count As Double
Dim MinVal As Double
Dim MaxVal As Double
Dim Msg As String
Dim UserEntry As String
MinVal = 1
MaxVal = 20
Msg = "Enter the Number of Program Phases"
Msg = Msg + vbNewLine
Msg = Msg + "Between 1 and 20"
Do
UserEntry = InputBox(Msg)
If UserEntry = "" Then Exit Sub
If IsNumeric(UserEntry) Then
PhaseNum = Val(UserEntry)
If PhaseNum <= MaxVal And PhaseNum >= MinVal Then Exit Do
End If
Loop
For Count = 1 To PhaseNum
Sheets("INPUT").Select
Sheets("INPUT").Copy After:=Sheets("INPUT")
Next Count
End Sub

Sub CopySheets()
Dim PhaseNum As Long
Dim Count As Long
Dim MinVal As Long
Dim MaxVal As Long
Dim Msg As String
Dim UserEntry As String

MinVal = 1
MaxVal = 20
Msg = "Enter the Number of Program Phases"
Msg = Msg + vbNewLine
Msg = Msg + "Between 1 and 20"
Do
UserEntry = InputBox(Msg)
If UserEntry = "" Then Exit Sub
If IsNumeric(UserEntry) Then
PhaseNum = Val(UserEntry)
If PhaseNum <= MaxVal And PhaseNum >= MinVal Then Exit Do
End If
Loop
For Count = 1 To PhaseNum
Sheets("INPUT").Select
Sheets("INPUT").Copy After:=Sheets("INPUT")
Next Count
End Sub

would this be easier?

Sub addsheets()
On Error GoTo bye
For i = InputBox("Number needed?") To 1 Step -1
Sheets("Input").Copy after:=Sheets("Input")
ActiveSheet.Name = "Input" & i
Next i
bye:
End Sub

Hello to the list,
I created some vba code in a workbook.
i now do not want to use the code as some of the folks will not lower thier
security settings.
After deleting all the code and checking that there are no macros, i am
still being asked to either enable or disale macros.
How can i get rid of this message?

thx,

bob

I tried both of those, and the program is still stopping after:
Sheets("Input").Copy after:=Sheets("Input")
It doesn't go to End Sub or give me an error. The program just stops. Any
other suggestions?? Thank you for your advice

In contrast, the corrected code I posted ran perfectly for me.

try creating a new blank workbook. Name the first sheet Input.

Put your code in a general module (insert=>Module).
then run it with this workbook the activeworkbook.

It should work.

If it does, then the question is why it doesn't work for in your original
workbook.

My guess would be that you have a user defined function written in VBA in
the INPUT sheet that raises an error when you copy the sheet and causes your
macro execution to halt.

or
Input has a space before or after.

Just to continue such a stimulating discussion (and I have nothing pressing
at the moment), to me, that would seem less likely since no error handler is
shown and the OP stated no error is raised. Excel VBA has never been know to
be stingy with popping up a subscript out of range error <g>.

Nonetheless, regardless of having espoused such wisdom in response to your
eloquent suggestion, it costs little to check.

Be nice Tom.
As we are all too aware, sometimes OPs don't tell us everything....

Thank you Tom. It didn't work in an empty workbook either, and there aren't
any extra spaces in the name. I think there may be another problem and it
has nothing to do with the program that is written. At least if I was given
an error I would have something more to go on. I may try running it on a
coworkers computer and see if it works there. Thank you again for your time,
I do appreciate it! I'm learning alot from you all!
