I have formulas in certain cells on a spreadsheet. When I change one of the
values within one of the cells, the sum does not change until I go up to the
formula bar on top and click on the check mark. This has never happened
before so I must have hit some control button. I want my sums to change
automatically when I change a cell value.

Hi ptree,

Go to Tools Options Calculations and check automatic.

In addition......

If you're wondering how it got switched to "manual"......

Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the first
workbook opened in that session.

i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first, calc
mode would be in Manual.

If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1, Book2
would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this case).

If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc mode.

Confusing enough? <g

NOTE: if you are loading Personal.xls and its settings are at "manual",
change this to "Automatic" and re-save Personal.xls.

Tools-Options-Calculation and check the "Automatic" box.
Abnd a tip - when posting to newsgroups, don't use a generic subject of
"Excel 2000" - as this group is dedicated to Excel, we *know* your question
is about some version of Excel. Try to put a precis of the problem in the
subject line.
