I found this answer from JohnnyL in this post VBA - Allow User to Select Which Worksheet to Copy
Its's almost what I need 🤌
VBA Code:
Sub ChooseSheetNumberToUse()                                                                        ' select a sheet to copy
'
    Dim UserSelectedSheet       As String
'
    Worksheets(1).Activate                                                                          ' Had to add this to allow the sheet selected to work
'
    MsgBox "In the next popup window, Click the sheet name " & vbCrLf & "that you would like to copy." ' Advise user what to do next
'
    If Application.CommandBars("workbook tabs").Controls(16).Caption Like "More Sheets*" Then       ' This CommandBars only shows up to 16 sheets, after that it
'                                                                                                       will display the first 15 sheets and the 16th item will be
'                                                                                                       an option of "More Sheets..." which will give full list
        Application.CommandBars("workbook tabs").Controls(16).Execute                               ' If more than 16 sheets are found, click the "More Sheets ..."
    Else                                                                                            ' Otherwise ...
        Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").ShowPopup 800, 300                                 '   Display the sheets found
    End If
'
    UserSelectedSheet = ActiveSheet.Name                                                            ' Save the sheet name that the user selected
    Debug.Print UserSelectedSheet                                                                   ' Test print, for verification, name of user selected sheet
'
'   The variable 'UserSelectedSheet' now contains the sheet name selected by the user
'
'
'   Add desired additional coding here ...
'
End Sub
Is it possible to choose multiple sheets and not only one from Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").ShowPopup 800, 300? And then save them all to a new workbook? The new workbook should stay active. So it easy to save it immediately to a path.
....well it could be cool to write that path in the code also....along with filename based on a fixed string like "Schedule" and the value in two cells B1 and E1 😎

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Create a userform an insert a listbox and button
Just place the Listbox1 on the userform, don't do anything with it. The code will populate the listbox.

place this code in the userform module.
VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim i As Integer, sht As String, arr() As String, n As Long
   
    For i = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
        If ListBox1.Selected(i) = True Then
            ReDim Preserve arr(n)
            arr(n) = ListBox1.List(i)
            n = n + 1
        End If
    Next i
    Sheets(arr).Copy
    Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    With ListBox1
        For sh = 1 To Sheets.Count
            .AddItem ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sh).Name
        Next sh
        .MultiSelect = 1
    End With
End Sub

When the userform shows, select the sheets you want in a new workbook and click the button.

IT's BEAUTIFUL 🤩 Took me a while, to figure out everything regarding creating and implementing a userform. This was my first...but definitely not my last 🥲
Thank you davesexcel 🙏
