The formula causing me fits is "=DSUM(Grants,Grants!$E$10,C74:D75)*12"
(without the quotes); it's from a budget worksheet I'm adapting for our
org's use.

I keep getting a "#VALUE" error. When I simplify it down to retrieving a
single value from the worksheet, it does fine. But a DSUM causes the error
every time. I've used the forumla checker but it runs out to everything in
parentheses and then gives the error. I verified in Insert Names Define
that the cell range is the worksheet I need and includes just the cells I
need - to include the Totals row at the bottom and the column headers at the
top (single row). I don't know how to further "dissect" the DSUM to find
the specific problem. Maybe I should delete the name and then re-create it
...... ? Any ideas?

I deleted the Name and then re-created it. Now the DSUM works. Must have
been a "gremlin" in the file.
