is there any way of inserting a worksheet that does not have a sheet number
on it. would be handy for using in macros.
 
hi
no. the sheet number is how excel keeps track of everything. even if you
change the name of the sheet to a non-number name, excel still keep the sheet
number in the background.
but people have aways gotten around this problem with macros. what problems
are you having?

i want a macro to insert a worksheet then name it. when i try to do this
with a second worksheet the macro overwrites the first worksheet
 
You cannot name a sheet same as another so you must check to see if that
sheetname exists then add a sheet with an alternate name.

Post the code you have tried.

What pattern of name would you want?

Hi
the macro insets a new sheet then copies another sheet onto it. i then
rename the sheet. when you try to do this again the macro looks for the
original sheet number and overwrites the information in it. it sounds like
what I want to do is not possible.
