Range name problem for DA
SORRY IF THIS IS A 2ND POSTING BY ACCIDENT BUT, IF SO,
PLEASE READ THIS ONE NOT THE PRIOR A file I have contained one worksheet that was a cosmetically pretty echo of another of my worksheets that was full of actual inputs, many of which I range-named. I sent this file to a colleague who wanted me to make the former worksheet even prettier for his client. He sent the new file back to me but, since I was continuing with other changes, while he did it, I needed to simply capture all his cosmetic changes in that one worksheet, which had only results, no cells that drove anything else. So, I deleted my worksheet and copied his in. I don't recall getting asked any questions about range names when I did, but I may have. I then deleted his file from my computer. In any event, whenever I create a cell with one of these "smart labels", e..g, "with a value of "&text(v2,"0%")"&"...", where v2 is one of the range-named input cells, when I try to hit enter, it brings up a dialog box called "update values: his filename.xls", looking for me to choose a filename with his filename being some other filename on his system (his computer and mine are not linked, could it be sitting in my temp files?). Whatever I did next, to deal with that EXCEL reaction, that smart cell then turned to garbage. If I then go to insert/name/define, instead of the range names I created within my file, I see the same names but referenced from his modified copy of the file - to be clear he did not change any range names. I proceeded to delete them all and then all is fine.... until I create another one of these smart cells. Then, the problem starts all over again. Bottom line, it seems that his range names are overtaking mine and keep finding their way back into my file. Why is this happening and how can I expunge his range names from my computer. Thanks!
