Hi, I have a button that creates new Sheets in a new Workbook.

When I click it, a MsgBox asks for a filename. If I enter a filename that exists, as expected I get "File already exists do you wish to replace it?"

Whether I use a pre-existing file name and click "yes", or I use a new filename, as each new sheet opens I get a message box "There is already data here. Do you wish to replace it?"

This is a new worksheet in a new workbook. Why would there already be data there? Is there any way to tell Excel to just ignore this?

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
