Tom Hutchins helped me tremendously when he suggested I link two workbooks
by using named ranges. Problem now is I don't remember how to do that and I can't find the reference in "Help". Could someone please jog my memory as to how to link a named range in one workbook to another workbook so that it automatically updates when changes are made? This is very urgent. Thx, -- LPS |

It's just like linking to a group of cells in another workbook. Easiest way
to set it up initially is to have the other book open and start typing the linking formula by entering = and perhaps a function in the cell that is to link to the other book, like: =SUM( then just reference the other book and range name like =SUM(Book1.xls!RangeName) and it's done. When you close "Book1.xls" the formula will update to include the path. By having it open, it saves you from having to type it all in.
