SYMPTOMS
When values in a workbook are calculated, incorrect values may appear in the active worksheet.



CAUSE
This problem may occur when the following conditions are true:


 * One or more cells in an open workbook call a user-defined function. -and-


 * The user-defined function uses a built-in Microsoft Excel worksheet function.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install Microsoft Excel 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To work around this problem, scroll down the worksheet so the cells that display incorrect values no longer appear on the screen. Scrolling forces Excel to redraw the screen, which causes the correct values to be displayed on the active worksheet.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 97 SR-1.
