When a workbook is shared, you can keep track of changes to that
workbook. The changes are recorded on a sheet named "History".

So, Excel won't let you create a sheet named "History", to avoid any
potential conflicts.

Hmmm - curious. I guess it will remain a mystery unless Mr Gates can
enlighten us.

When I try to rename the worksheet, I get the error "reserved name".
Anyone familiar w/this message? How do I release the reserve?
