Why not clear them all out, Print_Area etc. will get re-created as required.

I want to clear out any user defined names in the names collection,
without
touching built-in names like Print_Area, etc.

Should this be done through the workbooks name collection, or the
worksheets
name collection; and more importantly, how do I identify a built-in my
code.

Thanks, Eric
