Default Name Defining

Howcome when I go to add a new name in the name---define box, excel
automatically adds the sheet name to my formula? I'm trying to run a macro by
using the name define function but it won't work for different workbooks
because they all have different sheet names and hence aren't referenced
properly. Is there a way to get around this?


For example this is the formula that I'm entering in the name define box (I
know its huge)

=OFFSET(INDIRECT("$A$"&(MATCH("Run",$A:$A,0)+1)),0 ,0,(COUNTIF($A:$A,1)+COUNTIF($A:$A,2)),3)

and here's what excel is automatically doing..........

=OFFSET(INDIRECT("$A$"&(MATCH("Run",Testing_Macro! $A:$A,0)+1)),0,0,(COUNTIF(Testing_Macro!$A:$A,1)+C OUNTIF(Testing_Macro!$A:$A,2)),3)
