so sorry.......
this problem was actually occurring on somebody else's pc and they said they
checked the regional settings and they were OK.
What they failed to tell me is that it was only happening on that one
workbook.........so I checked the number formatting on the book and it was
set to $!!!
That'll teach me to ask more questions about the problem in future!

Thanks again for your help.
