        parentSheet.Name);
}

Private parentNameRange As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange

    parentNameRange = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange( _
        Me.Range("B2"), "parentNameRange")
    parentNameRange.Select()
    Dim parentSheet As Excel.Worksheet = _
        CType(Me.parentNameRange.Parent, Excel.Worksheet)
    MessageBox.Show("The NamedRange is in worksheet: " & _
        parentSheet.Name)
