Be aware of excel SOLVER

Be aware of excel SOLVER

(OP)
I encountered a very interested behavior of Excel Solver. After execution of solver (no vba macros) a few range names I assigned simply disappeared or got erased from the memory. Wonder if anybody else experienced this kind of problem.

Even though the Solver is very convenient, I don't think it's very well programmed. It adds a lot of range names to do its work, and (maybe) tries to clean things up, deleting your range names in the process. Thanks for bringing it up, one more thing to look out for!

Thanks Joerd, It could be the answer. I'll play with range names to see if it makes any difference.
