Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I received a compile error message
("Invalid or unqualified reference"), and ".Cells" in line 2 of your code was
highlighted.

I select a range by using the following code:

Worksheets(Sheet2Name).Cells(Sheet2FirstRowNum, 1).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select

Is there a way I can "convert" the aforementioned selected range (which
can
vary) into the required R1C1 format so that I end up with something like
this:

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Database", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Worksheets(Sheet2Name)!R2C1:R18C11"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
