Pat,

Check the format codes (Format - Cells - Number - Custom). We'll go from
there. Are these on different sheets? If so, check Tools - Options -
View - Zero values (it's sheet-level). Not sure that any of these are your
problem, but worth looking at.

Two cells appear to be formatted the same. (Acctg/None/2) When a 0 is
typed
in one a - appears...in the other a 0 appears. I've tried format painter
with no result.
