Default SUM Function Yields Zero Result

If there's always data in the range when you're using =sum
then it must be formatted as text. Are you importing data
from somewhere else? You get this kind of problem
sometimes if you're pulling data from Crystal Reports, but
I don't know about anything else.

I tried to use the SUM function in VBA. I had used

similar code successfully before, but now get a zero
result, even if there are non-zero numbers in the range.
Here's the code. Of course, nRow, nCol and NumColsOutput
have been previously defined.

Set zRange = .Range(.Cells(nRow, nCol), .Cells(nRow,

NumColsOutput))
Sum = WorksheetFunction.Sum(zRange)

If I use "zRange.Select", I can see that it is selecting

the desired range of cells, so the Range works correctly,
yet the SUM is wrong.

I then tried the simple worksheet function, entered into

a cell: =SUM(A1:D3)

I found that sometimes I got a zero result, sometimes a

non-zero result.

Can anyone suggest why I might be getting these "false"

zero results from the SUM function?

Thank you very much for any help you may be able to offer.
