Maximum Names - (Insert - Define)
Hi,
According to HELP limited only by memory. Have a look here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...992911033.aspx Mike "Bob Barnes" wrote: Looked in Help and searched this Newsgroup...but didn't find anything. Is there a maximum number of Names you can define in a Workbook? TIA - Bob |

Maximum Names - (Insert - Define)
I tested this the other day and managed to create 66000 names, but neither
the Excel 2007 Name Manager nor mine and Jan Karel's name manager would work properly with this many. Personally I think a sensible limit is 5000 to 10000, above that things become difficult to manage. As a matter of interest, how many did you want to create and why do you need that many?

Charles - thank you.
My App will have between 5200 - 5500 Names. We get wonderful results using Access-to-Excel automation. The reason..heavy analysis in a Manufacturing App feeding Pareto Charts. I'll test its capability within the next week, and 100% everything. I'm optimistic it will work well...I'll make a point to Post how this worked...might be in 2 weeks as I'm working on other Projects.
