Never heard of that, you might want to post this question in the German
Excel newsgroup.

Hi,
thanks for yr email.

Sorry for clarification, a spreadsheet was written in England, but the
German branch of the company are using it.

Does this help?

Sounds like Excel thinks the values are text and the double click
corrects
it. I don't understand what you mean by "problem with the German and
English
settings"? What has English settings to do with this? Are you using a
German
version of Excel on a PC with a German OS?

In Germany, the words false / true (falsch / wahr), based from
checkboxes,
are written in lower case letters, and Excel doesn't 'read' it as a
boolean.

When I doubleclick on the cells "Falsch" and "Wahr" and then press
enter,
the word changes the notation to capital letters. (e.g. "FALSCH").
After
this
the calculation works ok.

I think that is a problem with the German and English settings.

Anyone have any ideas please?

thanks
