Default User-defined function not recognized in formula

<"debug point"

should be "Breakpoint"

And the formula with which you call it, together with the values and types
of the arguments.
You did enter the function in a standard module, didn't you? It should not
be in a Sheet module or Workbook module.
In general, if you get #Value and do not even hit a debug point in he
code, the number of arguments is wrong or they are of the wrong type.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Excel 2003, XP SP3:
I have written VBA code to define a private Boolean function for my
current
workbook and inserted it in a new module belonging to that workbook. VBE
clearly recognizes it and does not flag any errors.

But when I reference the function in a formula (spelled correctly with
upper-case letters where appropriate) the spelling gets altered and the
cell
shows #VALUE! When I try to debug the code, there is no evidence that it
has
been entered at all.

I have previously tried creating the function under a different name and
placed it in other modules in other workbooks (in my XLSTART folder),
but I
had no more success. In some of the tests, the cell value showed as
#NAME?
instead.

What am I doing or not doing?
