I haven't been able to work this out myself, and I've searched the
groups and the web and haven't managed to come across an answer, so I'm
just going to ask. I'm really hoping that somebody here will have come
across this problem before!

In our office, we have a certain report that we run each day that
depends on values from Bloomberg. At the moment, we do the majority of
the report on our own computers, and once we get it to a certain point,
we go over to the old PC in the corner that has windows 2000 and Office
97, and Bloomberg to continue. We run a few spreadsheets on it, then
when we have the figures we need we go back to our own computers and
finish the report.

These old spreadsheets were made by someone who's since left the
company - the problem is that we can't get them to work on any of the
Windows XP bloomberg PCs. I've tried a few things but I can't work out
why it isn't working - it works fine on the old Win2000 machine, but
Excel simply refuses to properly update the values on the WinXP
machines, even though the plugins seem to be working fine.

I'll post more specific information about the problematic formulas
later if nessicary. Any suggestions or help at all would be very much
appriciated.

(BTW, hi, I'm new here :))
