It's quite difficult to guess what the problem might be if you only
describe what is *supposed* to happen ;-)

Can you show some code ?

I have a master file that reside in a folder with a series of text
files.
The text files are looped through generating, say one summed result
each.
The summed result's cell reference has a named range rt1Np. While
looping
through the text files, rt1Np_cntr initially set to 0 is being
re-set to
itself + the next rt1Np. rt1Np_Cntr = rt1Np_Cntr + rt1Np is not
working and
I am not finding the pieces needed hold this running total.

Appreciatively,
Arturo
