It's a global setting. But that setting is determined by the first workbook you
open in that session.

ooooh... so this is a "per-workbook" setting?!

Thought it was a general/global definition... =/

Anyway... thanx!

If you open a workbook with auto calculation on first and then open your
manual calc workbook, Excel will use the setting of the
first one.

| Hi, folks,
|
| The kind of job I do needs to be using manual calculation almost
full-time.
|
| Well, the problem is: I want to always use Manual Calculation option
| (without "recalculate before save" option checked). But sometimes Excel
| itself insists to change that option *without being requested to* :)
| And sometimes I find it out a little too late...
|
| Is this any kind of bug?
| Is anyone having that problem too?
|
| How do I fix this and turn Excel into a more appropriate friend? :)))
|
| Thanks and regards!
