Hi Bill,

Try:
{={HaulHours}*10}

If I enter in the cell

{REF HaulHours} I get the right result.

If I enter in the cell {={REF HaulHours}*10}

I get the syntax error !Syntax Error,*

I am using control F9 to create the braces.

This is starting to drive me nuts.

I hope somebody can save my sanity.

Bill
