Upper Case vs. Lower Case Add-Ins

I have a user whose Analysis ToolPak Add-Ins (the actual functions
themselves) are listed in lower case letters. When she opens a spreadsheet
containing upper case formulae she gets the #NAME? error until she edits each
cell and hits enter.
Any ideas?
I thought all formulae in Excel were always upper case.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Pl. verify that she has Analysis Toolpack enabled and not Analysis Toolpack -
VBA and let us know.

Here's what I'm seeing using the NETWORKDAYS function as an example:
Neither Analysis ToolPaks loaded - no NETWORKDAYS formula at all
Analysis TookPak only loaded - no NETWORKDAYS formula at all
Both Analysis ToolPaks loaded - Networkdays (sentence case only) available

On my own PC I have the NETWORKDAYS (All caps) function available.
When I add the Analysis ToolPak VBA I get both Networkdays and NETWORKDAYS
functions.

It is difficult to say why this is happening with her.
Ask her to try this solution..
Select any column with a #Name error and
Choose Data|Text to Columns and click on FINISH.

This should reset all errors...

This did solve her problem temporarily (it is a workaround).
I have escalated this issue to our parent company.
Thank you, Sheeloo for your advice.

Thanks for your feedback.

You can record a macro and attach to a button so that it is easier for her
to do this.

One reason could be that the formulae are generated through a macro and
saved on a system without Analysis Toolpack...

Let us know if you find the cause...
