Excel VBA behaves different in different languages

Question

Win-XP, Excel 2003

I have a range defined by a name, which is filled by a query. The same named range forms the source of a cell validation (in-cell dropdown list). In m

Answer 1

which is filled by a query

By a query table?
A query table's result range already has a name which is the name (a bit sanitised) of the query table itself (set in the properties dialog). Which means you don't need to redefine anything.

And if you do, then try this code:

Sub asfgsdfg()

  Dim n As Name
  Set n = ThisWorkbook.Names("LOVL2")

  'Or in case of a local name,
  'Set n = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("The worksheet").Names("LOVL2")

  ChangeNamedRangeAddress n, n.RefersToRange.CurrentRegion

End Sub

Public Sub ChangeNamedRangeAddress(ByVal n As Name, ByVal NewRange As Range)
  n.RefersTo = "='" & Replace(n.RefersToRange.Worksheet.Name, "'", "''") & "'!" & NewRange.Address(True, True, xlA1)
End Sub

EDIT

In regard to the follow-up... Most strange and amusing.

Try using a leading underscore or something?
