Sheet name already exists
When copying worksheets (especially multiple times on large spreadsheets), I
often get the following message: "a form or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "wrn.Full._.TRAIL", which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?" If I click yes, I am presented with a number of other names (About 20) that I don't recognize. Although the copy sheet operation works without causing Excel to crash, I worry about the integrity of my worksheet. Any others with this experience, and suggestions toresolve? |

Excel creates hidden names when it wants. "wrn." can be created when you run
report manager. I've seen it other workbooks when I didn't use the report manager, too. I think I'd get a copy of Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew Henson) Name Manager You can find it at: NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp Then you can clean up those names nice and safely. eddie_zoom wrote: When copying worksheets (especially multiple times on large spreadsheets), I often get the following message: "a form or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "wrn.Full._.TRAIL", which already exists on the destination worksheet.
