No, I mean it shouldn't be. When you F2 and it disappears suggests it might
be in manual mode, so switch to automatic.

one of the main functions that I use excel for is creating dsadduser
sheets
for creating new activedirectory groups each semester

with the change to excel 2007 though about 5 of the columns in a
worksheet
to create a dssaduser script show #NAME? for every cell. The data is
still
there if I click on any particular cell but it wont display unless I do
click
on it - this makes checking entered data a real pain

obviously if I am creating a dssaduser script there will be 100's of
names
involved and I dont want to use the name function for each one. can
anyone
tell me a way to get the sheet just show column data instead of this
#NAME?
error code

otherwise its back to excel 2003
