Maybe...

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim NewName As String

NewName = Me.Range("c2").Value

If NewName = "" Then
NewName = "OldName"
End If

If LCase(Me.Name) = LCase(NewName) Then
'do nothing
Else
On Error Resume Next
Me.Name = NewName
If Err.Number < 0 Then
Err.Clear
Beep
MsgBox "Can't rename"
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End If

End Sub

Hi

OK thanks guys I got that working fine. Very grateful.

It transfers the contents of C2 to the tab no problem.

I do notice however that when I delete the new value in C2 , that the
tab value stays the same. Is the a way to add a few lines to the code ,
so that the tab name would revert to a fixed title - say 'Oldname' when
C2 is blanked?



Best Wishes


Colin

Here's one from a past post by Bob Phillips which does it ..
(Note that the file must be saved beforehand. A pre-requisite.)

'---------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "C2" '<===== Change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
Me.Name = Target.Value
End If


ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'--------
'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
