I have a wookbook with about 30 tabs (worksheets). Is there a way I can
automatically save each worksheet in the workbook as a new workbook, saving
as the tab name.xls? Thanks for your help!

Sub Make_New_Books()
Dim w As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each w In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
w.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & w.Name
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next w
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks for the feedback.

Note: you can always change the path to another folder if you wished.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\myfolder" & "\" & w.Name

Gord,

Again, thank you so much for your help. I am wondering if you can help me
take this another step.

I have a worksheet with multiple columns. After the data has been sorted
(say by customer), is there a macro that can be run that would automatically
save a sheet named for each customer and have just the rows for that
customer, saving as many sheets as there are unique customer names?
