Default Excel 2002 does not recalculate existing formulas

Excel 2002 running on Windows 2000, does not recalculate
those cells that are dependent on other cells that contain
changed values.
10 20 30 0 60 (formula =sum(A11)
changed to:
10 20 30 10 60 (formula =sum(A11)
pressed enter after changing 0 to 10, but did not
recalculate.
Formula is only recalculated after SAVE or if focus is put
inside formula & press enter.

Hi Natasha,

Check that calculation is set to automatic:
Tools--Options--Calculation

Natasha,

I am having the same problem. My formulas were working
fine until I protected the worksheet. From that point on
they would not recalculate automatically although the
ToolOptionsCalculations was set to Automatic. I had to
focus on it and press return as well.

I removed the protection but the problem still exists.

Sorry I'm not offering a solution, but am sharing your
pain!

Have just had a look at Charles' website
www.DecisionModels.com and used Ctrl & Alt & F9 to do a
full re-calculation. Now whenever I change some cell
information it is updating the relevant formulae.
