I used the following code to get the name of a cell:

dim a as string
a = ActiveCell.name.name

Can I do something similiar to get the name of a range of cells?
Thanks

Are you trying to get a Name or address?

This code get an address
a = Selection.Address

Use intersect to check if cell is the range of a named item

Sub test()

For Each nm In ThisWorkbook.Names
nmRange = Mid(nm, 2)
Set isect = Application.Intersect(Range(nm), ActiveCell)
If isect Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Ranges do not intersect"
Else
MsgBox "Ranges ntersect"
End If

Next nm

End Sub

Dim A as string
a = ""
on error resume next
a = activesheet.range("a1:x99").name.name
on error goto 0

if a = "" then
msgbox "no name for that range"
else
msgbox a
end if
