[mso] Replicate Worksheets, Make Unique Block Names

Hello Group,

How to copy a worksheet into other worksheets in the same workbook while
obtaining unique block names?

In sheet one, I have two blocks named block1 and block2.  Each block contains
a matrix of six cells (block1 = A1:C2 and block2 = D1:F2). Some of the cells
contain constants which will not change.

 When I copy this initial sheet into sheet two, everything appears to have
been replicated, except that the block numbers don't appear in sheet two.
When I try to name the blocks in sheet two, Excel refuses to allow me to name
them "block1" and "block2".

I have identical formulas in both worksheets that use the names "block1" and
"block2".   I want these formulas to use the contents of the matrices in their
own respective worksheets.

IOW, I want to start with initial conditions in sheet one then make a copy of
that into sheet two, and make changes in sheet two that don't disturb anything
in sheet one.  I might make additional copies of any of the sheets into new
sheets, and subsequent changes I make in any of the sheets shouldn't change
any of the other sheets.

Is this a block naming problem or is it a preference I need to set within
Excel (version 2002)?

Thank you for the help.

Ray Shapp
