Excel 2003 / 2007 function

Hello,
I have a spreadsheet that is shared on a server. It was created
using Excel 2003. It has some formulas that calculate price for a product.
The 2003 user puts an 'x' in certain cells to selection size, color,
etc. For 2003 the price is automatically calculated from the combination
of check marked cells.
For the 2007 user, it doesn't do the calculation 'all the time'. I
haven't really figured out a pattern, but sometimes the user will add
an 'x' to a cell that should trigger a price change, then 'enter' or
'tab', but it doesn't always work.
Any ideas!
TIA >>

Re: Excel 2003 / 2007 function

In Excel 2007, it has a discerning habit of opening spreadsheets that have
macros and not asking if you want them enabled, but puts a button on or
about the formula bar that allows you enable macros. Could this be happening
at times?

Bob,
Thank you for the reply. The problem occurs whether macros enabled or
disabled.

Re: Excel 2003 / 2007 function

Have you tried putting "Application.Volatile" as the first line in the
function? This forces the function to recalculate when any cell in the
worksheet is changed.
