Well, that's what I did - several times. It seems so simple and I don't get
why it won't work.

Judy - I'm having a heck of a time with naming the range. I've been in
Excel
help and on the Excel discussion group. two replies took me to documents
that basically say the same thing as Excel help. I've taken the suggested
steps a dozen times and two or three different ways. End result is still
the
error that the document has no named ranges and to use Excel to name the
range of data I want to import. Any suggestions? Thanks


All you do is highlight the data and type the name in the box at the top
left hand side of the window, next to the formula bar.....
