Hi,

I have been sent an excel sheet with a lot of data. When opening, the
program request whether I wish to update values, which I don't (also I have
set to manual Calculation in options) as I do not have the source data.
However, after clicking the "Don't update" button, it will still start to
calculate causing all cells with to have value "#Ref".

Hopefully you can help me in this matter.

regards,

Francis
