Ok that is almost what I need, can you explain where I would input the array A2:A45 within my sheet called "Tracking Sheet".
I assume a1 is the cell where the sheet name is pasted within it.

The sheet copy takes all the data from template ... Is your array a vba array that needs to be placed in the copy and if so how is it defined?
Yes a1 is the cell with the sheet name ... Albeit a typo fixed below.
Let me know re tha array and I will modify accordingly

Sub nuSheets()
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each nam In Array("fred", "doris")
Sheets("Template").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
With Sheets(Sheets.Count)
.Name = nam
.Range("a1").Value = Nam
End With
Next
End Sub
Re-reading it looks as though the 'array' to be copied is the range a2:a45 of sheet tracking data therefore:

Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each Nam In Array("fred", "doris")
Sheets("Template").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
With Sheets(Sheets.Count)
.Name = Nam
.Range("a1").Value = Nam
Sheets("Tracking Sheet").Range("a2:a45").Copy .Range("a2:a45")
End With
Next
End Sub

No each item in the array (which is in cells a2:a45) needs a sheet that is based on the "template". The name of the sheet is the name of the item in the array. The same value also needs to be placed within a cell in its newly created sheet
