Hi Andy,

You are quite correct. I made the mistake by saying copy instead of move/copy. Currently if you right click and select move/copy sheet then click the copy box the sheet is renamed with a .# (.1,.2,.3 and so on). You then have to right click Rename or double click to change the name. Having the rename dialog open, even with the suggested .# name would save a couple of clicks. I have several spreadsheets that are updated at least monthly. I use the move/copy use the tab name as the date is was updated and having the rename dialog open would be great.
        Personally I'm fine with that idea - of course, it is neater to have a
"New sheet name" entry inside the Move/Copy sheet dialog I think; that
is an easy enough hack.

Yes, that was my initial thought too.  I prefer this to launching
another modal dialog when dismissing the first modal dialog.

Works for me.  Save time in the process.

        It would be great if you could add it to the 'Easy Hacks' section in
the "Easy Programming Tasks" section - with a clear spec of what needs
doing; it would be even better if you took the task on :-) working with
VCL's resources there is quite a pain - and it'll increase the interest
in Ricardo's new layout work I think.

        Kohei - if you object strongly - would be good to remove the Easy
Hack / discuss :-)

Well, the only complication would be that calc also allows copying of
multiple sheets when multiple sheets are selected, in which case we
would need more than one sheet name input box.  We need to decide how we
need to handle this before going further.  IMO this scenario somewhat
complicates the matter, and I don't have a good solution to offer here,
unfortunately.

I had not though of this but your correct some planning needs to go into this.
