I get "Run-time error 1004, Reference is not valid" when I execute
Application.Goto Reference:="AccountAbbreviations"
Selection.ClearContents
The name "AccountAbbreviations" is, in fact, not defined. How can I check
for not defined so that the code can continue?

TIA,

Phil

One way:

Dim rTest As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rTest = ActiveWorkbook.Names( _
"AccountAbbreviations").RefersToRange
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rTest Is Nothing Then rTest.ClearContents

Try

Application.Goto Range("AccountAbbreviations"),True
