Let's say the name of your first sheet *following* "Totals" is "Start".
You should insert each new sheet *between* "Start" and "Final", then try
this formula in your "Totals" sheet:

=SUM(Start:Final!C16)

I have a workbook that helps keep tabs on properties that I buy and sell.
Each sheet is exactly the same as the other with the exception of the top
sheet which is to serve as a totals sheet and is named "Totals". I have
named the last sheet "Final." I would like cell C16 of the totals sheet to
be the total of all C16 cells on all of the other sheets, even if I add or
remove sheets as I buy and sell properties. I have tried using the
INSERTNAMEDEFINE route and keep getting errors when I attempt to create
the formula, even while trying to follow Microsoft Excels Help file. Any
help would be appreciated.
