Default why do i sometimes get a "value" error when i try to concatenate?

In some of my older spreadsheets, when I try to concatenate, I get a "Value"
Error. Specifically, the formula reads =c1&" Plan". I works in some
spreadsheets, but not in others. I generally update or make changes to old
spreadsheets. Could it be because they may have come from older versions of
Excel?

In the workbooks that return the error, try changing this setting:

tools|Options|transition tab
uncheck "transition formula evaluation"

(I'd uncheck all these lotus 123 settings if I were you.)
