I have a combo box that I formatted 0.000% and it works great. But the cell
its linked to - which is also formatted as % to 3 decimal places wont format
as a % - and thats a displayed cell so I need it to format properly.

any ideas ??

Thanks,
Yosef

That combobox's value is text.

Maybe you could use a helper cell that points at the linked cell:
=--a1/100
Formatted nicely.

I send this file to other users who dont necessarily have the same version
excell as I do - and this is causing an error message to appear. Can this be
overcome ?
Thanks.

What version of excel are they using.

If they're using xl97 or later, then this isn't the problem.

Im not sure of their version but it seems to be an issue.
The other issue I have is that I used the MRound function in the file and
since its an ADDIN in the analysis tool pack many users of my file get errors
! Is there a way around this without making them install the add-in ?
Thanks,
Yosef

If you want continue to use =mround(), then you'll have to have that analysis
toolpak installed.

Regarding MROUND, you can get the same result using built in functions
but we need to know how you want to round first
