Rename sheet if exists

[Phil Floyd]

I am using the code below (found in newsgroups) to open a closed file and
copy and rename a worksheet into a "Master" workbook. All works great
unless the name in Range("L3") is the same on more than 1 sheet. How and
where do place error control to append 01, 02, etc. to the end of
Range("L3") if that sheetname already exsists?

Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
If .Execute() > 0 Then
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
' The line below is where I get the error
ActiveSheet.Name = mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
.Value = .Value
End With
mybook.Close
Next i
End If
End With

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil
try the following:

Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim i As Long
dim test_wks
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\Data"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
If .Execute() > 0 Then
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
mybook.Worksheets(1).Copy after:= _
basebook.Sheets(basebook.Sheets.Count)
' The line below is where I get the error

on error resume next
set test_wks =
worksheets(mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value)
if err.number<>0 then
ActiveSheet.Name =
mybook.ActiveSheet.Range("L3").Value
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
.Value = .Value
End With
mybook.Close
else
msgbox "Could no rename worksheet"
end if
on error goto 0
Next i
End If
End With

Phil,

See my reply to the thread titled 'Renaming a Worksheet With Code Q' earlier
today, it covered the same topic.

Thanks Frank. The code gets through the error OK but it only copies the
sheet as Sheet1 and does not rename the sheet Range("L3") & 01, 02, etc.

Bob,
I have done several searches and have found no thread with the name you
mentioned. I'll give it a while and try again.

Hi
use Bob's suggestion in his other thread to increment the sheet number

 

[Bob Phillips]

Sorry Phil, I forgot to mention that it is the thread is in the
Microsoft.Public.Excel.WorksheetFunctions newsgroup.
