Inserting worksheets automatically in the same workbook..Guidance reqd

[shrejeet]

Hello Everybody

I have a named range (cname) which contains names like
abc
def
ghi
jkl
mno
pqr
stu...
.... and more..
I want to automatically create worksheets with the formulas and format as in the first sheet, in the same workbook with the above names like sheet1 will be named as abc, sheet2 as def, sheet3 as ghi... so on

If i add any name, a new sheet should be inserted in the workbook while checking for duplication. No duplicate sheet for the same name should be inserted. The sheet name could be more than 3 characters

Can anybody tell me how to go about this..
any macros available?

Thanks a ton in advance
Rajesh

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10" '<== change to suit
Const SHEET_2COPY As String = "Master" '<== change to suit
Dim sh As Worksheet

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
On Error Resume Next
Set sh = Worksheets(.Value)
On Error GoTo 0
If sh Is Nothing Then
Worksheets(SHEET_2COPY).Copy after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = .Value
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Me.Activate
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

You need a template sheet called Master, and to type something into one of H1:H10.

Your example workbook works fine for me. Just re-edit the names to get them retrospectively.
