Hi all, I am trying to create a formula that will copy a worksheet from my activeworkbook to a new document and save.

I have the below code, but when I run it I get an error:

"Copy method of Sheets class failed"

The sheet is not protected (which was my first guess). Any idea how to solve this?

Code:
Sub SampleMacro()
Dim FName As String
Dim Sh As Worksheet


Application.ScreenUpdating = False


FName = "MyBook" & Format(Now(), "dd-mmm-yyyy") 


If Dir("C:\" & FName & ".xlsx") = vbNullString Then
[B][COLOR=#ff0000]    Sheets(Array("Form", "Updates")).Copy [/COLOR][/B]
        For Each Sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
            With Cells
                .Copy
                .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                .PasteSpecial xlPasteColumnWidths
            End With
            Range("A1").Select
        Next Sh
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\" & FName & ".xlsx", xlNormal
End If
     
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     
End Sub

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Hi mrlex,

Are you trying to copy one worksheet named "Form Updates", or two worksheets named "Form" and "Updates"?

Your description mentions "... copy a worksheet...", but the code is trying to find two worksheets.
