Hey Steve....

I'm unable to successfully "reply" - keep getting a runtime error about a "library application"... presume there is something wrong with my set - but no time to get it fixed today! SO - another new mail (very sorry).

I viewed the Saved Properties exactly as Tom O described. ...and, actually, if I click on save in the workbook, and then look at the properties, it changes the result to TRUE. So that one is officially ruled out!

I did go back into my workbook, updated one of the formulas, saved, closed and pulled it back up. The formula is there.

I think before I reload excel, or try to get my machine disinfected, I will chalk this up to User Error. (I don't really believe it - but, it' going to let me sleep easier than any of the other choices!)

If, in fact, it was me causing this issue - I do apologize for taking so much of your valuable time! Though, from my point of view it was not wasted, as I have learned a bit more about VBA - and that is a very good thing!

So thank you. You can go ahead and pat yourself on the back for bringing me all the way to Grammas!

Oh - and since I am having so much trouble with "reply" - please let Tom know I did appreciate his input as well - and your "fishing trip" did not freak me out!
