No, issue has been resolved. But thanks for sharing your solution.

One of the posts (in May 2006) indicated that when the add-in is uninstalled, the toolbar remains…this may be fixed now, but if not, I had the same issue with an add-in I created. I finally found that the problem was that the workbook_addinuninstall sub was a private sub I had put in the module. After moving it to the ThisWorkbook object, the issue was fixed. Unchecking the addin to uninstall it also deleted the toolbar. Hope this helps, if it’s still an issue.

Hi Bruce,

About the install error: This is a problem with mu setup file, which assumes the addin to remove has the same name as the one being installed. Since the beta addin has a different name than the current version, you end up with two indeed. Sorry about that.

About the local names: could you send me a sample file?

By the way, that was the first name on the list that invoked the error. The name has an external reference.

OK, I filtered "Local to active sheet" and clicked Globalise. A few seconds into the process it threw up this error:

Name "Staple Report'!AvgAtt1' is already defined as a Global name: Globalise cancelled

The apostrophes here are exactly as they appear on the error, so there's something else to fix.

I loaded 4.0 without uninstalling a previous version and ended up with two versions in my Tools menuone with a submenu and one without. Both opened the older version. I unchecked the single entry shown for Name Manager in the AddIns dialog and still had the Name Manager with the submenu in my Tools menu, which referred to Build 478. I wanted to uninstall all versions so I could start fresh, but the single "Name Manager Utility" entry in Tools - AddIns was already unchecked. When I check it, it still refers to Build 478, but both versions now open to Build 560.

That's not my real problem, though. I just copied a sheet from one workbook to another and brought over 285 names that are now local with external references. I want to convert them to global names in the target workbook. Since I don't have a really clear idea of what exactly happens in this situation, I paused to do some research, download version 4.0, and here I am pondering what will happen. I will try it and see, but you probably know. Is there any detailed documentation on what the Name Manager is doing when it converts names?

This utility, by the way, has been indispensible for me. I have 3329 names to keep track of in one workbook and about 2500 names in another. I would be lost without your Name Manager!

Hi All,

Modifying (and locating) local names on the worksheet they are localised to should be fixed in the current download (build 557)

Nope, toolbar should go too, so that needs to be adressedd.

Agree with you re Local names. I'm sure it's not a problem to wait for the next version.

Also spotted that if you uninstall the add-in the toolbar remains. Clicking it reinstalls the add in. Is that intentional?
