Excel recalculates on startup?
I am having trouble with some spreadsheets I create on one system and then
move over to another system for people to view. Used to be, I would do this and you could open the spreadsheet up and see the values. Recently, and what changed I don't know, when the spreadsheets are opened I get the #NAME? error in all the fields, as if Excel is trying to recalculate upon opening - and failing, since the spreadsheets were created using Citrix, which doesn't exist on the second system. How do I keep this from happening - short of doing a values-only copy of each spreadsheet? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Tom Hayakawa |

Excel recalculates on startup?
Have you tried setting calculation to "Manual"?

Hi Tom,
If there are different versions of Excel, it sometimes indeed will recalculate a workbook upon loading If on the other systems there are missing components (like Analysis Toolpak not being loaded) you can get #NAME errors. If the readers don't need to change the workbook, why not use an Excel viewer? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN mind possible linewraps -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Tom Hayakawa" wrote in message ...
