Replacing cell with named range

[pickytweety]

About half way down, where I type "LOOK HERE" I want to replace the "A3" with
a named range. I tried just replacing the A3 with a name and it didn't work.
So then I took the quotes off and it still didn't work. Can you help?

'Turn Automatic Calculation off and screen updating off
'With my test run, turning off the screen update made it run 200% faster.

'This code selects the name range on "scroll list" sheet

Your objective is not clear. The loop, as written, will end up with the
value of the last cell with data in column A of wksScroll being entered in
cell A3 of wksTemp. So, starting from there, exactly what did you expect to
see in Range("a3") of wksTemp? Define what you mean by:
"I want to replace the "A3" with a named range." Do you mean that you want
to Set A3 to an object variable, or do you mean you want to actulally name
cell A3? You can name the cell by clicking Insert>Name>Define, etc. You
need to clarify exactly what your objective is for the macro.

A3 hold the name of the current student. The macro goes through a list of
students and creates a sheet for them summarizing their scores, then moves to
the next student. Someone inserted a row in the template sheet, causing
trouble. If I had used a named range instead of A3 in the macro this
wouldn't have been a problem. I've given A3 a name--currStudent. Now how do
I use currStudent in the VBA code rather than A3. Does that make sense?

If you have named a range currStudent, then in the code you would use:

Range("currStudent")
