Automatically insert new rows

I have a spreadsheet where I need to copy a row and have EXCEL
automatically copy new rows based on a number inputted by the user
(less 1).

I've used a code which was previously posted that creates a box asking
how many rows I need. This works fine but the problem is that people
often input one row too many
For example: If they need 10 rows overall , they inadvertently input a
10 ... giving a total of 11 rows (the original row + the 10 NEW
rows) )

So I was wondering if anyone would know how to fine tune the code so
that it would give me one less row than what the user inputs.

Here's the code that I use:

Sub copyrows()
numrows = InputBox("Number of rows")
'Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Copy ActiveCell.Resize(numrows)
Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Copy
ActiveCell.Resize(numrows).Insert
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Thanks for any Help
 
Well, if you can trust them to always enter 2 they want to insert 1 new row,
then simply subtract 1 from the numrows variable's content... if you can't
trust them to do that, then there is no automatic fix available.

Perhaps your code could automatically figure out how many rows to
input based on _____________?
"If desired, send your file to dguillett1 @gmail.com I will only look
if:
1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet
2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want
4. You send before/after examples and expected results."
