Look at my previous response. I can't duplicate that behavior. It works
fine for me.

Try this. With locActive_Template as the active sheet, run this code

set rng = Union(range("P49"),range("P86"))
rng.name = "MyName"

msgbox thisworkbook.Names("MyName").RefersTo

Again, that code works for me.

hi,

thanx for the fast response.

=locACTIVE_Template!$P$49;locACTIVE_Template!$P$86

is the Range which Excel adds after selecting the cells with
"Insert-Names..."

when i select only 1 cell everything works fine,
but the cells represent 2 different ranges (P49 AND P86)
the code fails, because the Range Object from RefersToRange is NOTHING....

Note that I used a comma rather than a semicolon, but since you are in
Germany, a semicolon is probably appropriate.

hi,

i defined a Name "MyName" like

=locACTIVE_Template!$P$49;locACTIVE_Template!$P$86

in VBA i wrote

Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveWorkbook.Names("MyName").RefersToRange

but the code fails and the RefersToRange is nothing.

any idea?
