Change Defined Name Constant String

I assume you mean you can define the name OK but you can't use it in the way
you intend, to return a string in a cell formula.
That's because you've defined a name that expects to refer to another Name
named Second_String, which presumably doesn't exist. Try instead -
Next_String = "Second_String"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="MyString", _
RefersToR1C1:="=" & Chr(34) & Next_String & Chr(34)

Both seem to work great. Thanks!

I'm trying to change the defined name string constant using VBA. Is it
possible? Here is my code:
Sub ChangeNameString()
Dim Next_String As String
' this works ok, defined name shows "First_String" (with quotes) (not a
variable)
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="MyString", _
RefersToR1C1:="=""First_String"""
Next_String = "Second_String"
' doesn't work when attempting to change name with Next_String varible
(no quotes)
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="MyString", _
RefersToR1C1:="=" & Next_String
End Sub
I've tried several variations but nothing works. Any ideas?
