Think both functions require the Analysis Toolpak (ATP)
be installed and activated in Excel

Check the "Analysis Toolpak" box
(via Tools Add-Ins)

Chip Pearson's page has details on the ATP at:

When I try to use EDATE & EOMONTH I get an invalid name error (#NAME).

When I look at the formulae in the cells they have been changed to eDATE
and
eoMONTH.

Can anyone explain why this is? It is happening in Excel 2000 & 2002.
