how can i copy one worksheet in one workbook into another workbook

I have two separate workbooks one named ActiveWorkbook and one named Terminated Workbook. What I want to do is create a copy button on ActiveWorkbook--Templatesheet which will ask the user which sheet to copy and copy into TerminatedWokbook and named the same as the original one.

I have some code like this and since i am very new to excel macro, so of cause it does not work. Thanks

Sub CopytoTernimal()
Dim CopyName As String
CopyName = InputBox("Please enter the name of sheet which will copy to ternimal")

Sheets("CopyName").Copy
Before:=Workbooks("Terminated Employees").Sheets(1)

End Sub

Ok, here's the complete code 

Dim CopyName As String
CopyName = InputBox("Please enter the name of sheet which will copy to ternimal")

Dim thisSheet As Worksheet

'you must be sure CopyName is typed correctly, or it wont find the sheet
'also be sure the Activeworkbook name is correctly typed. 
Set thisSheet = Workbooks("ActiveWorkbook").Worksheets(CopyName) 

'copy this sheet
thisSheet.Rows.Copy

Dim NewSheet As Worksheet
Set NewSheet = Workbooks("Terminated Employees").Worksheets.Add()
NewSheet.Name = thisSheet.Name
NewSheet.Paste

To make it a button, go to the main excel window, developer tab, and insert an Active X Button. (Use the Active workbook) Then in design mode, double click that button. The click event will be automatically generated, so you put this code inside that sub. After that, disable the design mode (that's in the developer tab in main window as well). When you click the button, code will be invoked.
