Formula's stop working
Has anyone encountered Formula's that stop working in
Excel 2000? Recently I've had several users state that all of a sudden, their formula's stop working. I uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2000 Pro on one users PC then about a week later, it happened again. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance. Ken

Formula's stop working
Hi Ken,
ToolsOptionsCalculation, check Automatic This setting is taken from the first workbook opened, and then applies to all open workbooks. -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Ken Smith" wrote in message ...

Ken
The most likely cause is that ToolsOptionsCalculation "automatic" got switched to "manual" Excel takes the calculation mode of the first workbook opened in a session. If that workbook was saved as "manual" calc, then subsequent workbooks opened will be "manual" no matter which mode they were saved under.
