[Enable Content] [X]" 2) I copy from one cell in that sheet a working DDE formula to the clipboard. 3) I create a new sheet 4) I paste the formula into that sheet. The DDE formula breaks in the new sheet. This does not make sense to me. It is as simple as it gets. I suspect that the problem may come from the fact that I did not somehow enable "Automatic update of external links" in the new sheet. I don't get that dialog. If I save the sheet and re-open it, then I get the dialog and the formula works. So getting this dialog seems to be essential.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
