Hi Howard,
I know you are not using 2007 but an FYI - In 2007 you can filter the "broken" names. Formulas, Name Manager, Filter, Names with Errors. (or Names without Errors). Then you can delete these in one step.
If what you are trying to do is list the dead names as indicated below in <2007, then use the Paste List command and apply an Auto Filter, and go from there.
Cheers,

Thanx.
Actualyl, I was not interested in getting a list of the dead names, but
turns out, that could be useful.
I am programmatically creating a workbook, so there should not be any dead
names, but I can use PasteList to make sure that I did not screw up.
