This is from Gord Dibben............
Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the
first
workbook opened in that session.

i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first,
calc
mode would be in Manual.

If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1,
Book2
would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this
case).

If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc
mode.

Confusing enough? <g

Gord

Could it be that you have another book open at the same time?
