Default #VALUE error

we are on a terminal server environment, when I bring up a spreadsheet on my
computer, I get #value errors in multiple formulas. when my coworker brings
up the very same spreadsheet on her computer, the formulas result with a "-"
representing a zero value in the formula. this is happening on multiple
spreadsheets, I had many of them open yesterday and no problems. today when
I open them up, #value everywhere. why on my machine and not hers?

I bet you'll get a lot better guesses if you share one of the offending
formulas.

(It could be a few things.)

Thanks Dave, but since the error doesn't occur when a coworker opens the SAME
spreadsheet, I did not feel the formula in the spreadsheet is the offender.
It must be some setting that I have different from her.

Yep.

And the formula could give a hint what that difference is.

Good luck.

And what's in F31 and what's in H31?

Check to see if the same add-ins are set on both PC's. go to Tools - Addins

Thanks Joel, just did and they are the same. We also checked all of the
options under tools and they are also the same. Any other ideas?
