I'm receiving an error message ... (Compile error: Duplicate declaration in current scope) ... when I run some code that has 13 components, but I believe it's the following two components that are the issue ...

one of the components copies a template sheet multiple times and renames them with names from a list ...

Code:
 Dim ws As Worksheet, Ct As Long, c As RangeSet ws = Worksheets("Student Profile Template")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Sheets("PrintTemplate").Range("AH49:AH100")
    If c.Value <> "" Then
        ws.Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
        ActiveSheet.Name = c.Value
        Ct = Ct + 1
    End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True]

another component saves all sheets that have a 5-digit name as PDFs in a certain location in G:drive ...

Code:
Dim ws As Worksheet, wPath As String, r1 As String, r2 As String, r3 As String    
    wPath = "G:\Maths Dept\STUDENT RESULTS\2019\PDF Profile Copies\"
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name Like "#####" Then
            r1 = ws.Range("S5") & "\"
            r2 = r1 & ws.Range("E2") & "\"
            r3 = r2 & ws.Range("S3") & "\"
            If Dir(wPath & r1, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir wPath & r1
            If Dir(wPath & r2, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir wPath & r2
            If Dir(wPath & r3, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir wPath & r3
          
            ws.PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
            ws.Range("A1:ai29").ExportAsFixedFormat xlTypePDF, wPath & r3 & ws.Name & ".pdf"
        End If
    Next ws

it is the 'Dim ws As Worksheet' in the second of those two components that becomes highlighted with the error message, so I clearly can't have that appear twice, but how do I get around this ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Very kind regards,

Chris

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Are these in the same module or separate? Can't tell as you don't show the Sub Name or End Sub
