Hi Gord....
As far as openeing in safe mode, yes all works well in safe, but when
opening in normal mode the calulations are still set to automatic....This
options does not change....

All add-ins are unchecked....

XLSTART folder is empty....

"At Startup" path is empty....

Still nothing....any other ideas?

I do not wish to reformat the hd but even when I un-install office completly
and re-install I still get the same problem....very frustrating! Unless
we/someone can come up with any other suggestions I can't think of anything
else to do....

If all is well when you open Excel in Safe Mode then when not in safe mode,
something is opening with Excel that turns off the calculation.

You have unchecked all add-ins?

You have cleared all from your XLSTART folder? Note: there can be more than one
of these in your account.

You have cleared the path at ToolsOptionsGeneral "At startup, open all files
in"?

A format of your HD is a bit drastic, I believe.

Hi Niek and thank you for your response....I have viewed the site you
provided to no avail...still not calculating. Funny thing is I can open Excel
in "safe" mode and all works great. If I open normal, no calculations....go
figure...well I'm just about at my wits end with this whole thing...unless
anyone else has any other ideas I may just force to open in safe mode until I
get a chance to format my hd and start over!
