    Macro Help

    I know this is a simple issue, but I want to make sure it is correct

    I have a workbook with several macros for creating a PDF of reports. The issue I'm having is, if a page is copied to creat the same report for multiple vendors. The create pdf button makes a pdf of the original page not the copy.

    I assume it this line causing the issue "Sheets("ToyotaMO").Activate"

    Is there a way to change it so if I copy the page and press the create PDF button it generates that page not the original?

    Thanks

    Re: Macro Help

    when you are copying are you pasting it somewhere else? If so you need to refer to that sheet.

    But to ensure we get this right please post your code or a sample workbook.

    Not copying to a new workbook, just copying the tab to create a dublicate and change the vendor info. But when copying the name of the worksheet is different so the macro points to the wrong sheet

    Re: Macro Help

    The macro (Sheets("ToyotaMO").Activate) works on the original sheet. It just causes problems when I duplicate the sheet (i.e. ToyotaMO (2)). Is there a generic line I can put in the macro that will run on the current sheet and not switch to the original?

    If you can post you entire code I'm sure I can adjust it.

    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.
