One of the things you'll be heading for is to create an XLT file, the
equivalent of a Word template. You can simply take a blank copy of your
current spreadsheet, rename it with the XLT extension and Excel will begin
to honor it as the base design for any new sheet you create with it.
Then you can create a base sheet from that template, copy what you've
already done to it and set a reference to the base XLT. We can add code
later that will add a new worksheet for the current week.

Subject: [mso] Excel Newbie Q<g>
Hi folks...
Okay, here's Dian, entering the group as a subscriber and Excel newbie to
ask Qs!<g>
So...we have this Excel timesheet from HELL that the boss forces us to
fill out each week. We have to look all our time and set all the client
billing...blah, blah, blah.
But it appears that, rather than making a master template of sorts
(remember, my only frame of reference here is Word!). So to use each
week...they just take the old one, erase the info and enter the new info.
ARRGGHHH! Not me! I'm gonna learn how to do this RIGHT...if you Excel
folks will help me!
But for today, I don't have time to worry about the template issue, I'll
ask that one later. For now, I'd like to at least take last weeks
worksheet (is that right???) and add a new copy of it into the workbook
(is that the right term????). The boss wants to have ONE book of all my
timesheet so tabs at the bottom would show the dates for each week. What
I've been doing to date is creating a whole new xls each week from a blank
one I created.
There is some listboxes and a little bit of formula stuff in here (which
I've REALLY got to improve, quick<g>)...so I'm shy about what I can do
with this.
Appreciate any help adding one sheet into a previous book.
