What is the formula? It doesn't sound as though the column is too narrow.
Check the format in FormatCells as well, it should be General.

I am editing a formula in my worksheet which returns the correct result. As
soon as I make a change to the formula the cell shows the result as
"#######....", but the formula tollbar shows the correct result which is
two
initials, "DH". I cannot fix the cell to show the correct result of "DH"
instead of the "##########...".

Has anyone else had this problem? Autocalculate is on, the formating for
the cell is correct. I am at a loss.
