When renaming a worksheet it puts ".xls]" in front of the name.
 

When I go to rename a worksheet it puts ".xls]' in fron to the name. When I
delete this it still comes up with an error and won't let me proceed.
Is this a bug? If so, does anyone know how to rectify?

Rename your file without bracket characters ([ or ]). See:

Dear JE McGlimpsey

THANK YOU SO MUCH - the file name did not have [ in it, however, when I
renamed it it worked !!
