Conflict with Valid Range Reference Error in Microsoft Excel 2007
Hi,
While converting the Macros enabled Microsoft Excel 2003 to Microsoft Excel 2007 format, I am getting the following Conflict with Valid Range Reference Error. After clicking on the Ok\OK to All buttons the VBA code in the Excel is not working as it is expected to. The following is the Error message. "The name, rev02, either conflicts with a valid range reference or is invalid for excel. The name has been replaced with _rev02. You may still need to manually update any references to this name used in VBA code or as text arguments in functions. You must close and reopen the workbook before these changes take effect." and prompting for Ok\OK to All button. Please pass on any pointers for resolving this issue. -- Thanks in Advance, Vamsi |

Conflict with Valid Range Reference Error in Microsoft Excel 2007
It is telling you that in xl2007, it has a column header REV which causes a
conflict with with a file name or some other name in your xl2003 files that contain rev, so you need to use a subscript line (_) to distinguish that what you are transferring in is not a range reference. Excel has done it for you, but you need to save the file to make the change effective.

Conflict with Valid Range Reference Error in Microsoft Excel 2007
xl2007 has 16k columns.
That means that names that worked ok in xl2003 and below may look like addresses of cells in xl2007 (IV isn't the last column anymore). You'll have to change the name. And excel won't change your code--you'll have to do that yourself. That's what the warning means. And excel won't change any formulas that use that name as text: =indirect("rev02") won't get fixed automatically.

There are some strings that can't be used for names--things that look like
addresses of ranges. There are characters that are invalid in names, so they can't be used. Your name looks like a cell address. Excel won't allow it to be used.
