Put this in a REGULAR module instead of a sheet module or ThisWorkbook.
Then

=cn(a1) where a1 contains the cell name

Function cn(x)
cn = x.Name.Name
End Function

I have given the cell A1 a name (ie smith). In another cell I am trying to
use the address function to tell me what that cell has been named. If I
type
in =address(1,1) it returns $a$1. I want it to return smith. Does anyone
know
how to do this?
