Circular References and Visual Basic Formulas: Trouble Opening Workbooks

S

strefry

Hello,

I have a workbook with a complex formula written in VBA that is part of
a circular reference. When the workbook is open, everything works
fine. But when I close the workbook and open it again, I get "#Value"
in the cells with the VBA formula and "#Name" in other cells part of
the circular reference.

I assume it is because there is nothing to start off the circular
reference (sort of a "primer") once the workbook is opened.

I have gotten around this by turning off auto calculation when I open
the workbook and then turning it back on as soon as the workbook is
open. But this is a pain for me to do everytime and even harder for me
to explain to others when I send my workbooks to them.

I know that I did not have to do this with older versions of Excel.
Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks,

Scott
