Hello Noel,
starting with a workbook with the following sheets 'sheet1',
'sheet2' and 'sheet3'
and trying a macro like:
sub test
worksheets.copy after:=worksheets(2)
end sub
results in the following sheets in the workbook 'sheet1',
'sheet2', 'sheet1_2', 'sheet2_2', 'sheet1_2_2', 'sheet3'
the expected result should be something like 'sheet1', 'sheet2',
'sheet1_2', 'sheet2_2', 'sheet3_2', 'sheet3'
and similarly running the following macro
sub test
worksheets.copy before:=worksheets(2)
end sub
results in a workbook with the following sheets 'sheet1',
'sheet1_2', 'sheet1_2_2', 'sheet1_2_2_2', 'sheet2', 'sheet3'
expected results would be 'sheet1', 'sheet1_2', 'sheet2_2',
'sheet3_2', 'sheet2','sheet3'
I think you are falling victim to the fact that you are modifying
the underlying container ( e.g. the sheets container ) whilst
iterating over it.
No I wasn't. I just used the method a bit different to you. It seems
that there are two possible ways a XWorksheets object is used. First
is your use case in which you specify to copy all sheets. I, in
contrast, didn't know that was possible and used the syntax provided
by the bug report: Sheets(Array(1,2,3)).Copy Before:=Sheets(2) which
works fine because a new worksheets object is created and you don't
modify your own container.
aha, sorry, I didn't even look at the book just coded the first example
that came into my head, and yeah in this scenario the container you are
iterating over and the container you are modifying are different
Nevertheless my method doesn't work fine and I appreciate your help
and will rework my method. I'll have a look at your pseudo code and
think a bit how I can rework both copy methods.
Ok, looking at the example you used I *think* my suggestion should still
work with this case too. But.... please don't be afraid to completely
disregard my idea, I am sure there is more than one way to solve the
problem, my main concern is that we reuse the same functionality,
besides being good coding ( something I don't claim to be good at ) in
this case it really seems that such reuse should be the natural
solution, if you find a ( better/easier/personal preference ) way that
works for you then go for it :-)
thanks,
Noel
