worksheet_change vs. calculate, and worksheet_change not running

hi there,

I have implemented a worksheet_change macro as suggested by someone in
this group. I am having some rather odd problems at this point which
I hope you can help with.

Sometimes the worksheet_change macro seems to run and sometimes it
doesn't. dn particular, after any sort of error, it doesn't run
again, sometimes even if I close and restart the workbook. I have to
actually close and restart Excel entirely for it to work.

The cells which will be changing will eventually come from DDE links.
Does this mean I have to use worksheet_calculate instead of
worksheet_change? if so, how would that work, if I still need to know
what cell changed and so some work with other cells on the same row
when it changes, i.e. generating messages if certain comparison tests
are true?

Also, when I do alt-F11, after an error, I see two VBA projects of the
same name for my spreadsheet! And if I change one the change is not
reflected in the other.

Finally, if I get an error, sometimes it opens the VBA code for a
prior version of my spreadsheet (which has a slightly different name.)

The whole thing is driving me pretty crazy! Any help would be much
appreciated!

Thanks
Ross
