I am wanting to add a new sheet of data and name the new sheet by the text in another sheet. I'm not looking for a dynamic name change as it is just copy and paste data going into it. I keep geting a debug error... lol.

And whilst writing this I realised I was being stupid and created the solution, so here's the answer to my question which I hope will help somebody, somewhere, achieve something useful in their life.
VBA Code:
Sub Create_New_Payslip()
'
'
Dim MyName As String

    MyName = Sheets("UTF-8").Range("C26").Text
    Sheets.Add After:=ActiveSheet
    ActiveSheet.Name = MyName
    Sheets("UTF-8").Range("A1:K27").Cut
    With Sheets(MyName)
        .Paste
        .Columns("A:K").EntireColumn.AutoFit
    End With
    Sheets("UTF-8").Range("A1").Select

    MyName =empty 'Memory management
End Sub
