Hi David

Thank you for correctly analyzing what I wanted to do and for offering a
solution. Working with templates is something I have not gotten into before
so I will try it earlier in the day when the brain cells are more willing to
tackle a new project.

“If you hide the sheet names in all new workbooks what means are you using
to see your worksheet tabs and to change between them?”

I want to hide sheet tabs in workbooks that have only 1 sheet. When there
are multiple sheets, I leave them visible on the bottom of the sheet. To
add, change name, or delete sheet tabs I right click on them and follow the
pop up menu. Perhaps I will try to create multiple templates if that is
possible.

I am unable to open this link

Thank you again for your help and for directing me to some very worthwhile
reading material.
