Default Creating a name with VBA

I have an obscure problem. I have simplified it down to the code below. I
am trying to create a named range with VBA but the range name has inverted
commas around it so it will not work. For example, the code below creates a
named range for ResourceList of:
="Sheet2!$A$1:$A$3" rather than =Sheet2!$A$1:$A$3 (with no inverted commas)

"Sub test()
Dim strStart As String
Dim strEnd As String
Dim strAddress As String

strStart = "$A$1"
strEnd = "$A$3"

strAddress = ActiveWorkbook.Name & "!" & strStart & ":" & strEnd
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="ResourceList", RefersToR1C1:=strAddress
End Sub
