Paul, thanks for your help. But, u nfortunately, I was not able to save or
close the program until I gave the worksheet a correct name. Eventually, I
was able to close the program. Frustrating, I have renamed worksheets
hundreds of times. I just have never run into this problem before.

Thanks again for taking time to respond.

Hi,

I am trying to rename an excel worksheet but I keep getting a message that I
am using incorrect characters or too many spaces in the name, but I am not.
It will not let me continue work in the spreadsheet without correctly
renaming the worksheet. I am stuck. I would just close the program, but
unfortunately, I would loose to much data since I did not do a save since I
opened it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lisa
