Get Name of Sheet to use in Macro

I have a macro that takes a named range (New_Row), copies it and inserts itabove the current selection. It is called by a command button. As part of the macro, it sends the focus back to the original sheet (Orders) as the template row is on a different sheet.

But now, I want to use this command button on other sheets. However, it sends the user back to Orders, instead of the present sheet. How could I retrieve the name of the current sheet and then use it in my Macro? (Code below)

Sub Nsert_TemplateRow()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response
Msg = "This will insert a New Row ABOVE your currently selected cell. Do you wish to continue?"
Style = vbYesNo + vbInformation
Title = "Insert Row"

Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
If Response = vbYes Then
If Selection.Column = 1 Then

Selection.Insert
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("New_Row").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Orders").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Else
MsgBox "You must first select a cell in column A", vbInformation, Title
End If
Else
End If

End Sub

Thanks in advance for your help,

magmike

PS: I am open to suggestions on a better way to write the whole of it also,but still would like to know how to pull the name of the sheet and use it elsewhere.

I had tried the following which worked in another workbook, but it will notin this one. Not sure why, but it the error says something about not beingable to insert a row (it is a themed table - could that have something to do with it?)

'Range("New_Row").Copy
'Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
'Application.CutCopyMode = False

msk
 
Try...


Sub Insert_TemplateRow()
Const sMsg$ = "This will insert a New Row" _
& " ABOVE your currently selected cell." _
& vbLf & vbLf & " Do you wish to continue?"
Const lStyle& = vbYesNo + vbInformation
Const sTitle$ = "Insert Row"

If (MsgBox(sMsg, lStyle, sTitle) = vbYes) Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("New_Row").Copy
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1).Insert Shift:=xlDown
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If 'vAns
End Sub

...which inserts the new row at the activecell.row, shifting the rows
down. You don't need to select any sheets or any particular column.
(This code assumes Range("New_Row") on Sheet1 is an entire row!)

I get the error:

Run-time error '1004':

This operation is not allowed. It is attempting to shift
cells in a table in your worksheet.

Any ideas?

Yes.., you are trying to run the code within an area that's been
created as a 'Table Object' via the 'Data, Table' command! (Or the Data
tab, What If analysis, Data Table)

What is the benefit of a table object?
 
What is the benefit of a table object?

I have no idea if used only to store data. There are some advantages if
you run Scenarios because a 'Data Table' object has special features
all its own same as do 'Pivot Tables'. I know they're used heavily in
'Financial Models' but don't see any point in using them for raw data
stored in a worksheet for purposes of normal data manipulation!

But then, I use worksheets as normal database tables as so what do I
know!!!

Here's what I use to insert a specified number of rows above or below
the active cell. It's called by a common entry point routine that
passes the 'Caller.Tag' value. The menuitems are added to a custom
popup menu.


Public Sub InsertBlankRows(Optional Position As String)
' Inserts a specified number of rows at the location specified.
' If the Position arg is not used then the default is ActiveCell.Row.
Dim vRows As Variant, lPos As Long
Const sMsg As String = "Enter the number of rows to insert."

'Evaluate user input
On Error Resume Next
vRows = InputBox(Prompt:=sMsg, Default:=1): If vRows = "" Then Exit
Sub '//user cancels
If Not Err = 0 Or Not IsNumeric(vRows) Or Not vRows >= 1 Then Exit
Sub

'Get the position to insert
lPos = ActiveCell.Row: If Position = "Below" Then lPos = lPos + 1

'Insert the rows
ActiveSheet.Cells(lPos, 1).Resize(vRows).Insert Shift:=xlDown:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

The entry point routine:
Sub AddMoreRows()
Call InsertBlankRows(CommandBars.ActionControl.Tag)
End Sub

The menuitems:
Insert rows above here (Tag:="Above", Macro:="AddMoreRows")
Insert rows below here (Tag:="Below", Macro:="AddMoreRows")

Pop up menu? Is that like a combo drop down box?

It's like the Cells right-click popup menu, which my apps replace with
a custom menu. Optionally, you can add these menuitems to the Cells
menu.

Sorry, I didn't realize that I was doing that.

I looked up "popup menu" in excel help and am having lots of fun. Thanks!
 
I use the following in a module named 'mMenus' inside my Personal.xls
so it's available in any version of Excel I have open...

Option Explicit


Sub AddToShortcut()
With CommandBars("Cell")
.Controls(1).BeginGroup = True
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1)
.Caption = "Insert rows below here": .OnAction = "AddMoreRows"
.Tag = "Below": .Style = 1
End With

With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1)
.Caption = "Insert rows above here": .OnAction = "AddMoreRows"
.Tag = "Above": .Style = 1
End With
End With
End Sub

Public Sub InsertBlankRows(Optional Position As String)
' Inserts a specified number of rows at the location specified.
' If the Position arg is not used then the default is ActiveCell.Row.
Dim vRows As Variant, lPos As Long
Const sMsg As String = "Enter the number of rows to insert."

'Evaluate user input
On Error Resume Next
vRows = InputBox(Prompt:=sMsg, Default:=1): If vRows = "" Then Exit
Sub '//user cancels
If Not Err = 0 Or Not IsNumeric(vRows) Or Not vRows >= 1 Then Exit
Sub

'Get the position to insert
lPos = ActiveCell.Row: If Position = "Below" Then lPos = lPos + 1

'Insert the rows
ActiveSheet.Cells(lPos, 1).Resize(vRows).Insert Shift:=xlDown:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Sub AddMoreRows()
InsertBlankRows CommandBars.ActionControl.Tag
End Sub

...and to remove the menus...

CommandBars("Cell").Reset
