AutoCalculate Turned itself off.

[Sean]

One of my users cam to me because 1) AutoCalculate stopped
working in Excel and 2) Journal in Outlook stopped
tracking files.

While the AutoCalculate is easy to turn back on, I am
interested/ concerned as to why it turned off in the first
place. I had two ideas:

1) She opened a sheet where someone had written a macro to
turn autocalculate off.

2) When Access XP was recently installed on her machine,
something got set back/changed.

Or there is always another option, and that's what I am
looking for here.

Any others ideas/ causes that does this?

Thanks. Sean.

Hi Sean,

interested/ concerned as to why it turned off in the first
place.

Autocalc is set by the FIRST workbook opened. Maybe autocalc is set to
manual for her personal.xls file?

Great tip, thanks. I'll have her pay attention if there is
another spreadsheet open the next time it happens. Thanks.
