You don't have to load the name manager each time you use excel.

I keep a copy in my utilities folder and only open it when I need it.

Thank you.

I've heard about J's Name Manager, but was concerned about too much
'overhead' in memory.

"Hidden" as suggested I've tried, but doesn't seem to exist (in my XL
2003
version), but apparently "visible" does the trick.

Yes they can. In VBA use

Activeworkbook.Names("myName").Hidden = True

But I agree with Jacob, get NameManager, it is the best addin available
to
Excel, and it is free!

Hello,

can defined names be hidden so as to prevent accidental deletion ?

Regards,
