In previous Excel versions I was able to define a constant in a Name and
assign it to a specific spreadsheet. This is for VBA coding which defines
the action based on the type of spreadsheet that is active. I cannot assign
a spreadsheet specific Name constant within Excel 2003 unless I am missing
something. Attempted to use the Name Add-in Manager from this site but
receive an "On-Click" error so the add-in will not load.

How do I assign the same Name Range to specific spreasheets. For example, I
need a Name Range for every spreadsheet with in the workbook entitled
"SheetType" each spreadsheet will have a different constant assigned to that
Name.

Mark,

Don't have 2003 so I cannot be sure, but I would be surprised if this were
not possible. Did you create it like so

worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Name = "Sheet2!Bob"

and Sheet1, etc.

Hi Mark,

In previous Excel versions I was able to define a constant in a Name and
assign it to a specific spreadsheet. This is for VBA coding which defines
the action based on the type of spreadsheet that is active. I cannot assign
a spreadsheet specific Name constant within Excel 2003 unless I am missing

receive an "On-Click" error so the add-in will not load.

Could you send the error message to the address listed on my website please?

Precede the name with the name of the worksheet. If e.g. the worksheet is named
Sheet 1 and the name is Name01, use this name:

'Sheet 1'!Name01

as the name of the name.

Another way via code:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With wks
.Names.Add Name:="MyRng", RefersTo:=.Range("a1:b9")
End With
Next wks
End Sub
