I have several calls in a column that are used to
populate various
dropdowns on different sheets. When Macro's are
enabled, excel will
shut down with the polite message saying that a problem
was
encountered, with the option to notify microsoft, when
the text is
changed in one of the cells.

With the macros disabled, it works fine.

It also only seems to happen on Excel 2002 Service pack
2.

Any ideas? This has gone out for beta testing.
