Default Stuck - VB Help needed

Morning,

I have a code that reads three columns, colour (black, blue, green, brown
and two numbers, start hours and finish hours, (1, 2, 3 etc). The code then
plots a series of coloured boxes, one colour per row to produce a gant chart.

It works fine if I enter the three input columns manually, but if I drive
the hour columns through formulas the coloured lines do not update with
changes. So for example I want to plot blue from 0 to 3 hours on row 4 and
black from 5 to 7 hours on row 5. Enter the data hit return and it works, I
get a blue bar four boxes long starting in L4 and a black one 3 boxes long
starting in P5.

Then I change the row 5 inputs to be;

start time = finish time of row 4 + 1
end time = start time + 3

Any changes to the row 4 inputs will not update the gantt, although the
values in cells driving the gantt will change.

Can anyone help me know why this happens or how to fix it?

The code I'm using is below if it helps.

Thanks
LiAD
