Default Excel:Get concatenated text to be recognised as formula not text?

Hi,

I hope I've selected the right discussion group. I want to concatenate the
values of a set of cells as a string, and then have Excel recognise the
string as a formula. For example:

A1: 4
A2: +
A3: 4
A5: =
A6: =A1&A2&A3

I want cell A6 to return the answer to 4 + 4, and not the string "4+4".

Any ideas? (I'm using Excel 2003)

Thanks

Yvette
