initiating a macro

[johnT]

does anybody know why this doesn't work:

Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
i = 1

For Each sht In Worksheets
rng(i, 1) = sht.Name
i = i + 1
Next
End Sub

John,

It works fine for me,

Is Sheet1 definately called "Sheet1"? (i.e. the tab on the excel workbook
says "Sheet1".

What do you mean by doesn't work - it did take ages to run for me but that
may just be my laptop being funny.

Regards

Andi

If you are trying to put the tab name into cell a1 on each sheet, use this
Sub shtname()
For Each sht In Worksheets
sht.Range("a1") = sht.Name
Next
End Sub

I would like to list all worksheet tab names on one sheet
such that when a new sheet is added, the list will
automatically update

 

[johnT]

Ok, the macro seems to work if I insert a new sheet, but
is it possible to run the macro if I copy a sheet??

 

[Andibevan]

Not sure - one solution could be to do a count of the sheets when you open
the workbook and have a macro which counts if the number of sheets increases
then runs you code.

 

[johnT]

do you have some sample code that i can copy??

I misunderstood your original question but put this in the ThisWorkbook
module to run each time you open the workbook or you could run manually from
a button. No need to recount.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(i, 1) = Sheets(i).Name
Next i
End Sub

Gentlemen,

I came up with something that works for me, based on all
your feedback, thanks for all your help.
