How to know if cell has name
What I should have done of course, had I seen it, was refer you to Dave's
earlier post, rather than repeat what he had already demonstrated !

Don't see how that helps at all. Try this
Dim nm As Name
On Error Resume Next
Set nm = Nothing ' if necessary reset
Set nm = ActiveCell.Name
On Error GoTo 0
If nm Is Nothing Then
' not named, maybe name it
Debug.Print "not named"
Else
Debug.Print nm.Name, nm.RefersTo
End If

With Gary's aid:
The macro appears to function like I think it should. ;)
'======
Sub x() 'for all other links
Dim r As Range
'Begin Registry setting
sSpecLastWs = ActiveSheet.Name
SaveSetting appname:="ADM_Spec_Index", section:="WorkSheetNames", _
Key:="sSpecLastWs", setting:=sSpecLastWs
Set r = Range(ActiveCell.Address)
If Intersect(ActiveCell, r) Is Nothing Then
Else
sSpecLastCell = ActiveCell.Name
SaveSetting appname:="ADM_Spec_Index",
section:="WorkSheetNames",
_
Key:="sSpecLastCell", setting:=sSpecLastCell
'End Registry setting
End If
End Sub

Select a cell and run:
Sub nameit()
For Each n In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Set r = Range(n)
If Intersect(ActiveCell, r) Is Nothing Then
Else
MsgBox ("activecell " & ActiveCell.Address & " is part of " &
n.Name)
Exit Sub
End If
Next
MsgBox ("activecell " & ActiveCell.Address & " is Nameless")
End Sub
It is important to remember that a cell can have its own name or be
part
of
a range with a name or be a part of several ranges with different
names.

How can I test a cell for a Name, "activecell.name".
In my code below, it will generate an error if a cell is clicked
that
has no
".Name".
(Option Explicit assumed)
'======
Sub x()
'Begin Registry setting
'Notes:
'100% active on all cells clicked
sSpecLastWs = ActiveSheet.Name
SaveSetting appname:="ADM_Spec_Index",
section:="WorkSheetNames",
_
Key:="sSpecLastWs", setting:=sSpecLastWs
sSpecLastCell = ActiveCell.Name 'FAILS HERE
SaveSetting appname:="ADM_Spec_Index",
section:="WorkSheetNames",
_
Key:="sSpecLastCell", setting:=sSpecLastCell
'End Registry setting
End Sub
