Default Compare.xla

I understand that Myrna Larson, a co-author of this utility, posts here, so
I'm hoping she might answer a question for me. I'm having a problem with it,
and I'm not certain whether there is a way around it. The problem occurs at
line 258

Private Sub CompareFormulas(Cell1 As Range, Cell2 As Range)
Dim F1 As Boolean, F2 As Boolean

mV1 = Cell1.Formula

The line above fails because Cell1's value is zero, and the cell in question
has an unreasonably large formula in it. The formula is over 1000
characters long. We are working to get the developers here to simplify the
spreadsheets that we have to send out to customers, but that's a battle
being fought on a different field. For the moment I have to use the
spreadsheets as they are.

My job in QA is to verify changes to spreadsheets to ensure product
compatibility. Compare.xla does a great job displaying differences, but I
can't use it on this spreadsheet.

I'm wondering whether the code can be modified to accommodate huge formulas.
If it can't, I totally understand. I can't imagine designing a utility with
conditions this outlandish in mind.

Whatever the response might be, let me say thanks for this utility - it's
helped us quite a lot just the way it is.
