I have a worksheet which has a number of Range names. Each named range
relates to one cell only. There will be no instances of more than one range
name in a cell. Can I use VBA to check if the Active Cell has a range name
in it.

Many thanks

James

One way:


Sub dk()
MsgBox ActiveCell.Name.Name
End Sub

Try:

Sub WhatsInAName()
On Error GoTo noname
n = ActiveCell.Name
MsgBox ("cell has a name")
Exit Sub
noname:
MsgBox ("cell has no name")
End Sub

Hi,

Try this. You don't need the message boxes, they're to illustrate it works

On Error Resume Next
dummy = ActiveCell.Name.Name
If Len(dummy) = 0 Then
MsgBox "activecell is not in named range"
Else
MsgBox ActiveCell.Name.Name
End If
