Hi..I know that it's possible using VBA to set a range
name to invisible (& vice versa) such that it does not
appear in the range name editor available from the
standard drop down. A bit like setting the property of a
sheet to "very hidden". I can't remember the syntax...

Chris,

Try:
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="myname", RefersTo:="=sheet1!A1:A5",
Visible:=False

(watch for word wrap)

note that if the activesheet has a a "local" name called sheet1!myname,
this code will update that name, instead of creating a new "global" name.
