Hi Rob,

I cannot duplicate the problem on my system.
What version and update of Excel are you using?

When I select a cell and type a name in the Name Box and then use that
name in a formula, simply enclosed in brackets like
=(Name1)
Excel freezes if I click on any part of the Name1 and press F9 (to show
the value for that cell).
If I select the whole of the Name1, there is no problem.

Any ideas? Is this a general glitch with the program?
