Named references broken on copied worksheet
A l'le history: A user launches an Excel template called the 'MW Change Request' workbook which is made up of a cover letter-type worksheet with named ranges and a second worksheet which represents a budget sheet (detail type of the workbook); The second worksheet references named ranges on the first page for header information. The second worksheet undergoes frequent changes throughout a year, whereas the first one doesn't. There's VBA code written in that workbook which massages the budget sheet and formats it into and ASCII file that can be imported into our Project management application. No problem so far. Our users want to be able to do the following: 1.- Open up the workbook and fill out the cover sheet info, the budget sheet info and save it somehwere on a network drive. 2.- Sometime later they want to create another budget (brand new one) and have the cover letter sheet of the old workbook copied over to that new budget workbook, since the cover letter info remains practically the same. I was hoping that they could just open the old workbook and the new budget template and copy the cover letter from the old workbook to the new template and delete the current new cover letter. Problem is that the references to the named ranges in the budget sheet are now broken. When I hover my cursor over the cell, it has the correct reference (i.e. ''MW Change Request1.xls'!m_Jobname), yet the link is broken. Any way to re-establish this? Any other suggestion for implementing this.
