Hi Jeff, I don't have the answer for you, but I've encountered Excel changing my numbers around in the past. If you don't get help with this here at PCWorks, there's an Excel Newsgroup (which opens in your browser) at M$. http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?newsgroup=microsoft.pub lic.excel.newusers&SCLID=US&ICP=GSS3&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups .
You can post anonymously there. Let us know when you finally have it figured out, and good luck. I know how frustrating this must be for you.
