Worksheet Limit

[Guest]

Is there a limit to how many worksheets you can have in a workbook?

I have a workbook with a 'base' worksheet that I copy, then rename (for a
particular employee), and place certain data on. All this is done in a macro
- over and over - that I run once a month. I'm up to about 175 worksheets
required.

The macro worked fine today until there were about 12-15 employees left to
process, then gave me an error that it could not use the copy function. I
switched to the workbook, selected the 'base' worksheet, and tried creating a
copy under the 'Edit' option. It went through the process without giving an
error, but did not create the new worksheet. I was, however, able to
'Insert' a worksheet and manually do a 'select all' copy and paste of the
'base' to the inserted worksheet.

Any idea why the macro .Copy might have quit working?

for what it's worth it was Chip Pearson who posted that recently,
it was Tom Ogilvy who tested it many years ago (probably about 8 years ago).

For things that have specified limits you would find those listed in HELP
"specification limits" including a few that don't have actual limits.
