When I copy a worksheet into the same workbook I get a warning message that
states "a formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name
'wrn.Retirement._.Bonus.', which already exists on the destination
worksheet." I don't have any formulas or Names with this
'wrn.Retirement._.Bonus. Does anyone know what this is and how do I get rid
of it? Thanks!

Excel is not very good at getting rid of named ranges that are no
longer required. If you click on Insert | Name | Define you will see a
list of names in your workbook - if you don't need them, highlight
each in turn and click on the Delete button.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response but I've already done that. I have no "Names"
that have wrn.Retirement._.Bonus. in them.

Excel creates names when it needs them. And some of those names are hidden from
the user.

Get Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew Henson) Name
Manager:

You can find it at:
NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp

And you may find a bunch of hidden names that you never knew existed.

ps. I think some wrn.* names are created when you use Report Manager. (But
I've seen them in other workbooks/worksheets when I never used Report Manager,
too.)
