Tab Name Change Error .xls] inserted
I have done something to my workbook and don't know how I did it. Everytime I
add a new worksheet or rename an existing worksheet, Excel automatically puts ".xls]" in front of the name on the tab. When I attempt to delete .xls] it says that I have now entered an invalid name. Can anyone tell me what I did and how to fix it? Thank you for your help. |

Close that workbook and go to windows explorer.
Traverse to the folder that holds the file. Rename that file so that it doesn't include any [ or ] characters. (Those characters confuse excel.)
