In Lotus 123 I could rest all named ranges at one time using /rnr. Is there
a way to do this in Excel?

There isn't a reset all function, but the following code will remove all
range names from the current workbook:

Sub RemoveNames()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim n As Name

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
For Each n In wb.Names
n.Delete
Next n

Set wb = Nothing
Set n = Nothing

End Sub

Download JK Pieterse's Name Manager Add-in.

It is capable of many functions.

Jim,

You can indeed still use /rnr in Excel to reset all range names just
like in Lotus 1-2-3 without the need for a special macro or function.

1.) Do the menu sequence ToolsOptions, then in the resultant dialog
box, click the Transition tab.

2.) In the "Microsoft Excel Menu of Help Key" field, enter a /, then
choose the "Lotus 1-2-3 Help" radio button and click OK.

3.) Now from your worksheet, hit just the / key on the keyboard to
bring up "Help for Lotus 1-2-3 Users" dialog box.

4.) Click the "Demo" radio button, then click the "Faster" button until
the number reaches 5 and click OK.

5.) From now on, simply do /rnr to reset all your range names. (Note
that while Excel performs this for you, it will be showing you a "demo"
by going through all the screens for you. Don't worry about that -
just let it happen; Excel will indeed be performing /rnr for you.)

By the way, now that you'd set this up, you will find that most (but
not all) Lotus 1-2-3 "/" commands will now work in Excel, and as you
type them, you actually see the old Lotus 1-2-3 menu sequences appear
on screen.

Let me know if this was a help to you.
