optim(par, fn, gr = NULL,

fn: A function to be minimized (or maximized), with first
argument the vector of parameters over which minimization is
to take place. It should return a scalar result.Your fn defined as:
f <- 1000000000*(((((Wt-Wtmod)^2)/Wt) + (((Hgt-Hgtmod)^2)/Hgt))2) ; f
What is its first argument I wonder?
I think you have just an ill-defined R function (although for Excel it may be OK - do not know) and optim just chokes on it.
