Click "Insert" in the toolbar, and select "Name". Select "Define" and it will bring up a list of all the defined names in the workbook. You can remove a name or change the cell to which the name is attached. Hope this helps. -- hierarchii ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hierarchii's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25943 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=393202 |

Hi Rick,
And, if it is a VBA solution that you need, then try something like: '========================== Public Sub Tester() Dim sStr As String With ActiveWorkbook.Names sStr = .Item("OldName").RefersTo .Item("OldName").Delete .Add "NewName", RefersTo:=sStr End With End Sub '<<========================== --- Regards, Norman "rickv" wrote in message ...

Rick,
You can't rename a name, you have to delete it and then create a new name with the same refers to value. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "rickv" wrote in message ...

You can rename a name using VBA
ActiveWorkbook.Names("Joe").Name = "freddy" but any existing references in formulae etc to the previous name will NOT be changed and so will be invalid. regds Charles Williams Decision Models "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
