Hi I have an excel sheet as an embedded resource in my program. I want to create a copy of that sheet. The sheet also has some embedded tables (formatting) tables in it. So, when I manually copy this sheet, excel would prompt with messages asking whether to rename the formatting table
Thanks

What I have tried:

Dim oExcel As New Excel.Application
Dim oBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet = Nothing
oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\File.xlsx")

Tried the following and none of them worked:
oSheet.Copy("sheet1")
oSheet.Sheets1.Copy(After:=oSheet.Sheets2)

Your first problem is

VB

Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet = Nothing

, before using oSheet, you must set it to the sheet you want to copy.
In

VB

oSheet.Sheets1.Copy(After:=oSheet.Sheets2)

oSheet os not a Sheet and Sheets1 and Sheets2 do not exist.

There is an easy way to get a working macro for anything you can do on keyboard/mouse: Ask Excel to record a new macro and then open VBA editor to see the source code, you only have to adapt to your real usage.

Nota: your question is rather confuse, remember we don't see your screen and we don't have your WorkBook.
