Hi
does changing the name to X1SAVE work?

I have an application that reads data from spreadsheets based upon
named
ranges. I have a customer that has ported the application over to
French
Windows and French Excel XP. The application now gets an error
reading one
of the named ranges, specifically L1SAVE. I now have an installation
with
French Windows and French Excel XP and have been working in that
environment
to try to figure out why the name will not work. When I go directly
into
Excel and select the L1SAVE name range I get an error message
indicating that
the name is invalid. I can try to create a new named range with that
name
and it gives me the same error. I tried varying the name but if I
give it a
name that begins with L(upper or lower case) with a number other than
zero
following, I get the error message about it being an invalid name.
Is there
some special significance to the combination of L and a non-zero
number in
the French version of Excel (maybe related to currency francs?). If
so how
would I turn off the option that is not allowing these names?
