Default Automatic calculation of user-defined worksheet function

Hello,
i've defined the following user-defined function.
It references a cell on the previous sheet relative to the
current cell's (the caller) position.

Function PreviousWorksheet(RelativeRow, RelativeColumn As
Integer) As Variant
If Application.Caller.Worksheet.Name = "First sheet"
Then PreviousWorksheet = 0 Else PreviousWorksheet =
Application.Caller.Worksheet.Previous.Cells
(Application.Caller.Row + RelativeRow,
Application.Caller.Column + RelativeColumn).Value
End Function

When changing the cell the function is referencing to the
value is not updated. Only when I force the calculation
(pressing enter, copying the cell,.. but not F9) the
function is reevaluated.
Other, simpler functions give no problem so maybe it has
to do with how the function is defined (the caller
function).

Any solutions?
Or maybe there's an easier solution to reference the
previous sheet in EXCEL97. (A normal reference to the
sheet won't do as i want the function to work even if I
copy the sheet, with a normal reference all copied sheets
reference the original sheet and not the previous)

Thanks
Bart
