    Renaming control results in weird /unrecognized characters

    Hi there,

    I have a calendar set up (Userform) where I have 12 label controls for the months, for quick month pick.
    I want to name them sequentially as LblM1 (for January), LblM2 (for February) and so on..

    When I type in LblM11 the "11" turns into 2 black diamonds with a question mark.
    Apparently I cannot have "11" anywhere as part of a name control as it always results in the same behavior.
    And if I am not quick to change the name within a few seconds after I hit enter, excel eventually crashes.


    Is that a known issues? I have never had this issue before, I'm not new to VBA and the VBE.
    I also made sure I type in English (I have other languages installed).
    Any ideas why that is and how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hi there,

    No problems when using Excel 2106 - I don't have Excel 2007 so I can't test it there.

    Code used in UserForm VBA CodeModule:
