Default Defined names

I hope some can help!

I have approx 40 workbooks linked to a central variables workbook.

Within the variables workbook are a number of defined names covering a range
of cells eg A1:c114 is called maxima.

I want to insert some additional lines in a some of these ranges. In mot it
workls fine and the linked workbooks update ok. However one range of cells is
causing a problem.

When the new lines are added the defined name range changes to eg a1:c121
and the formula in the linked workbooks still has the name. However when I
evaluate the formula it show the old range ie a1:c114.

Can someone suggest a reason why and a way round it.


Thanks

You may have actually two files involved. One that you changed, and another
that the formula is looking at which was inadvertantly saved to a different
location and is actually a different file with the old range that has not
been changed.

I've checked the links and they appear to be ok. The other named ranges in
the same workbook are fine.

Then all I can suggest is to completely delete the errant RangeName, and
re-establish it....maybe it's some sort of a BrainF**t. <g
