And another tip for you Dian....if you click on multiple sheet tabs using the ctrl & shift keys to select more than one at a time, the sheets will be "grouped"....so then, whatever typing or formatting you do on one sheet, is done on ALL of them at the same time...so if you made 50 sheets, you could add all the stuff you want for your template...like column headers, formulas, etc...THEN save it as a template and you can use it over and over every year. Maybe your new job will spring for you to buy my Excel ebooks? LOL (if they are too cheap, let me know and I will email them to you for free...as a thanks for all you've done for this group) Linda F.

Would putting week numbers on the tabs save a bit of space down there on the left? I think I'd also set up a whole years full of worksheets and use that as a copy/template with at least one summary sheet. That gets around copying a worksheet every week... It's already there. There will probably be a maximum number of clients a week to bill... 200? :-) So the sheet can have fixed ranges "for now". ow many lines does the original worksheet have? Use the same or more.
