Hi all

I'm having a few problems working put how to copy a Worksheet (WS) AND then re-name it using the value of a cell from a different sheet but in the same workbook (WB).

The WB is being used to enable the end user to click a button on the Menu WS that will show a specific type of Userform (dependant on what type of template they need to fill in) asking them to enter a relevant date.
Once they click OK the date is written to another Worksheet called 'Dates' into cell C3 then the relevant template WS needs to be copied and then renamed using the value in dates C3.

I have found and adjusted the following sub on this forum but it keeps erroring out with 'subscript out of range' and I really don't have a clue why

Could someone please help me to resolve this one.

Many thanks

Paul

VBA Code:
Sub NewTemplate()

Dim WSCount As Long
WSCount = Worksheets.Count

        ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Template").Copy _
           After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(WSCount)
            Sheets("Dates").Name = Sheets("Dates").Range("C3").Value & WSCount + 1

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
See if this works :

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub NewTemplate()

Dim WSCount As Long
WSCount = Worksheets.Count

        ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Template").Copy _
           After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(WSCount)
            ActiveSheet.Name = Sheets("Template").Range("C3").Value & WSCount + 1
            

End Sub

Solution
Thanks so much for the reply, I've just tried that and it does now copy the template worksheet although I had to change the last line of the code to

VBA Code:
  ActiveSheet.Name = Sheets("Dates").Range("C3").Value

This was to reference the worksheet 'Dates' and remove the WSCount at the end of the new name.

Thank you again for the help though.
