    Changing Sheet Names based on a Cell Reference

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to connect two excel files by using VBA. First, I'm copied a sheet named "Template" from File 1 to File 2 and inserted a new sheet and copied the information again from the sheet named "Template" to this new sheet using a recorded macro (I'm very new to VBA/macros so I'm sure this could be simplified but I'm happy just to have gotten it to work). However, now I want to rename this new sheet based on the contents in cell B2.

    Each new sheet will have different values in cell B2 (2012-1, 2012-2...etc.) and I want to write some code that will easily change the sheet names for me without renaming each tab. There will be potentially 100+ tabs so I would be very time consuming to do so. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Thanks for the help. It did work. But there are a number of static tabs in the file that I don't want the sheet name to reference cell B2; is it possible to only run the procedure for the current sheet and not all the sheets?

    Thanks!
