User Defined Function Opens Improperly
I wrote a couple of functions with data links to a second workbook.
The data workbook is already open when I open the workbook with the functions. However the cells containing the functions open up the "####" error designator, not the function return value. When I open the function dialog box attached to a cell, I can see that it calculates properly and the return value is correct. And I can repair the problem by simply closing the dialog box by clicking OK. Any ideas on how to prevent the fault from appearing at all? Thanks Much, SteveM |

What's the "#### error" ? That typically means your column is too narrow
to display the value. Tim "SteveM" wrote in message ... I wrote a couple of functions with data links to a second workbook.

If I widen the column the #### changes to this: First the #Name? error designator appears for a moment then changes to the #Value! designator. Which I can repair by opening and closing the associated dialog box for just one cell. I can drag the repaired cell down the column to repair the other cells with the same formula. So it must be a lag linking up with the data source. But if it is, I don't know how to fix it. So any suggestions are appreciated. SteveM |
