I am using Excel 97.
I use VBA to populate 2 cells with values.
When these cells are populated two adjacent cells containing formulas
trigger the worksheet calculate event. I do not want this to happen.

I have tried using application.caller..

Select Case TypeName(Application.Caller)
Case "Range"
v = Application.Caller.Address
Case "String"
v = Application.Caller
Case "Error"
v = "Error"
Case Else
v = "unknown"
End Select
MsgBox "caller = " & v

But it always returns "Error"

Is there another way to find out what is triggering the worksheet
calculate?

There is no general way of finding out which formulae or events have
triggered a recalculation.

If you want to stop the recalculation then either
- switch calculation to manual
- make sure that no formulae refer to the cells you are populating

Hi
before inserting the values ypu may add the line
application.enableevents = false

and after the insertion:
application.enableevents = true

Note that setting enablevents to false will prevent the worksheet calculate
event from being called but if you are in automatic mode the formulae will
still be recalculated.
