------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 1 05:18:35 -0800 2005 ------- The idea on how to distinguish between formula and constant in the cell, should come from the parsing of the input string; in the string +123+123 the first char "+" is the positive sign, the second char "+" is the sum operator. so this MUST be saved as a formula, because an operator is invoked. Jus to give an example of REAL office work, .... (silly but real) let's consider to manually sum some invoices in a specific cell; then you discover a mistake and get back on that cell to find which invoce you have mistyped; I the value has been saved as a constant you will have to retype all the list of numbers; if the FORMULA has been inserted, you will easily find the error and easily correct it. Pleas, start considering strings with "-" or "-" char at position 0 as formulas !!
