why is ...xls] being added to the name on my worksheet?

[Guest]

I have a database set up and want to add a new worksheet called
'Expenditure'. When I name the worksheet '...xls]' is automatically added to
the front. How do I get rid of this without it generating an error message
suggesting things I am doing wrong, of which I am doing none? Cheers.

Try saving the workbook with no []'s in its name.

Then try renaming that worksheet.
