I'm creating a lot of tables so am using VBA.

This doesn't work ...
Code:
InputName = "Input_" & ActiveSheet.Name
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$B$12:$C$38"), , xlYes).Name = Input_Name

But this does ...
Code:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$B$12:$C$38"), , xlYes).Name = "Input_" & ActiveSheet.Name

why is that?

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
It looks like you meant...

Code:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$B$12:$C$38"), , xlYes).Name = [COLOR=#ff0000]InputName[/COLOR]
