Problem renaming worksheets
 

After countlessly deleting empty rows with my mouse, I proceeded to
insert a macro inside all files which I need to empty rows from. The
formula is as follows:

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()

Dim LastRow As Long, r As Long

LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Row - 1 +
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For r = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA(Rows(r)) = 0 Then Rows(r).Delete
Next r

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

For two days, I've used this formula without a problem. However, today,
when I renamed my worksheets, excel keeps adding an ".xls]" at the
beginning of the worksheet's name (note: not the filename). Is there
any reason or way that the macros would be interfering with the
software? If so, how can I fix it? or was it that I accidentally
enabled some random functionality? something else? Please help!

Note: I only have this problem in workbooks where I have utilized the
macro.

P.S.: I am using Excel 2000, but any general guidelines for any other
year would be helpful and much appreciated.

Problem renaming worksheets
 

Close excel.
Open windows explorer.
Go to the folder with that file.
Rename it and remove any [ and ] characters.
