Based on member's James006 answer to post "delete form controls in copied workbook" . I am creating a 'template' which will create a copy of the template and update the resulting file. This works until I want to remove the Form object/macro in the resulting copy.


Sub Remove_All_Objects()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Visible = True
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

My code:

'**** Generate new destination file
'create workbook
Dim wb As New Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Add

'add updated sheets to new workbook. Form object "Create copy" is on sheet 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Site Information").Copy before:=wb.Sheets(1)
wb.Sheets(1).Name = "Site Information"
Remove_All_Objects

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("new-site").Copy after:=wb.Sheets(1)
wb.Sheets(2).Name = "Site"

etc.....

This works on the first pass, the macro objects are removed from the resulting file. However, say I make a data entry mistake in the original file:

I delete the resulting file
Re-run the Macro button again in the original file
It creates the new workbook 'Bookx' with a copy of Sheet1 including the Macro object
The VBA then comes up with a "Runtime error - Automation error - The object invoked has disconnected from its clients." highlighted at

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Site Information").Copy before:=wb.Sheets(1)

Any idea what I will need to do?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
