Hello,

can defined names be hidden so as to prevent accidental deletion ?

Regards,

Yes they can. In VBA use

Activeworkbook.Names("myName").Hidden = True

But I agree with Jacob, get NameManager, it is the best addin available to
Excel, and it is free!

Thank you.

I've heard about J's Name Manager, but was concerned about too much
'overhead' in memory.

"Hidden" as suggested I've tried, but doesn't seem to exist (in my XL 2003
version), but apparently "visible" does the trick.

Sorry, wrong property name. I have never understood why MS use Hidden in
some context, visible in others. Consistent it ain't!

As to NameManager, it has a small enough footprint. It is the one addin I
would not be without, I would even pay for it if I had to.

You don't have to load the name manager each time you use excel.

I keep a copy in my utilities folder and only open it when I need it.
 
Recommendation appreciated,
