Thanks for your help. The workaround by Dave Peterson seems to do the trick.
Anyway it'll have to do until our IT dept gets around to upgrading our

Thanks again

Maybe you could use a workbook that checks this setting each time it could get

This is a bug with shared workbooks in Office 2000 and it seems there never

Excel 2002 has corrected the bug.
