What is a 'reserved name' and how do I get rid of it?
When I try to name a worksheet tab 'History,' I get a message telling me that
History is a 'reserved name'. It won't allow me to use the word, but there is no explanation as to what 'reserved name' means or how I can fix the problem. Anyone else out there encounter this? Thanks a bunch.... |

I believe certain words are reserved by Windows for OS-based functionality.
Apparently, "history" is one of them. Try something like Historical or HistoricalData or, Hystory, etc. Dave -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem.

Try [history.]
Use a period after the word. Bg "Dave F" wrote in message ... I believe certain words are reserved by Windows for OS-based functionality. Apparently, "history" is one of them.

Excel creates a worksheet named History when you're tracking changes.
