This is an isolated problem - only affects the year when depreciation is 
capped. The function in most normal use is OK.

VDB(100000;20000;10;7;8) returns 971.52 (correct)
VDB(100000;20000;10;7.25;7.75) returns 3276.80 (incorrect - can't be more!)
Excel97 returns 0 - that's wrong too. Should be 971.52/2 I think.

I've just finished a writeup of this function that (I hope) clarifies it fairly 
well:

The graphs should help illustrate the situation.
