Home on the RANGE
Hi All.......
I have an old "many times modified" workbook that has RangeNamed cells on it's Main sheet which work just fine. But if I switch to another sheet, all results for those RangeNames return #REF! on those sheets, and to do Insert Name Define while on one of those sheets, shows the address of the Range at #Ref!$A$3 or whatever, but on the Main sheet still shows the correct address. Only by hand re-typing the MainSheet name part of the address in the Insert Name Define window while on one of the other sheets seems to correct the problem. Any ideas what I might have done to have caused this? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

Home on the RANGE
A possible solution....
I'm guessing the "bad" range names on the other sheets are sheet-level names. Are the range names on the Main sheet workbook-level names or sheet-level names? If they're workbook level names....you should be able to just delete the range names on the other sheets...the formulas would then reference the workbook level names. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "CLR" wrote: Hi All....... I have an old "many times modified" workbook that has RangeNamed cells on it's Main sheet which work just fine.

Home on the RANGE
Hmmmm.....didn't know there was two kinds of RangeNames......have always been
able to access any that I created from any sheet in the book. I just went to a secondary sheet and tried to delete a RangeName and the whole workbook crashed. Maybe it's got molasses in it's crankcase, 'er sumpthing. I can fix these by just re-doing them, but was wondering what happened so maybe can keep it from happening again.

Sorry about the crash...deleting a range name shouldn't trigger that.
Sounds like that workbook has had a rough life. <g *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "CLR" wrote: Hmmmm.....didn't know there was two kinds of RangeNames......have always been able to access any that I created from any sheet in the book.
