HI

Yes that's got it. Works like clockwork.

I combined the two routines , and now the contents of the target cell C2
are transferred to the tab , and then replaced with the text specified
in 'NewName' when C2 is blanked.

This means that the name of the tab can revert to it's previous name
before it was amended.

Perfect - thanks.

Here's how the final code looks :

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

Dim NewName As String

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

If NewName = "" Then
NewName = "Audit Results Template"
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




Best Wishes

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
