Hello,
I do not know if it is only me but when I Move or Copy a sheet from and existing Workbook using the Create a "New Book" in the dialog pop-up I am not able to save the new created Workbook.
I have try with different Workbook and simple sheet with no link to other sheets in the existing Workbook, the same situation... no possible to save to new created Workbook.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Thanks & Ciao

I don't have this problem. What error or other indication do you get
when you try to save?

Thanks for the time to red my post.

The new Workbook get a name made of numbers when I try to save it say only that there is not enough memory or file not readable no other message or error code.
I have try with a new Workbook, create a sheet with some calculation then try to move/copy to a new Workbook and this time no problem... I have noticed that I am having the problem with workbook that were originally created on a Windows PC, I am using a Mac.
Maybe there is some issue on compatibility ?
Thanks

Sounds like there may be some corruption in the PC workbook - I can't
reproduce that with PC-created workbooks here. Does the workbook have
graphics or other objects in it (even if not on the worksheet you're
moving)?

If the suspect file is an .xls file, you might try using Save As to save
the file as a .xlsx file. Close and reopen it (close and reopen to save
it back to a .xls file if necessary).

After due investigation I have noticed that the files that generate the problem came from the same user/PC than I assume that this friend of mine has some corrupted item in his compter PC. Othe PC friend have sent me file and I have not noticed the problem... I belive thatb this is a limited ( to thie specific computer/Excel) problem so it is not a problem or a bug for all of us.
Thanks for your time and effort I really appreciate.
Thanks & Ciao
